Sheffield Wednesday fans have criticised the club over alleged plans to introduce facial recognition technology at Hillsborough this season, labelling the move a “potential infringement of supporters' rights”.
In an open letter to Sheffield Wednesday’s Data Protection Officer, the Trust said that it was “deeply concerned” to learn that the club “may be intending to deploy facial recognition technology (“FRT”) at home fixtures at Hillsborough”, having learned about the plan “from SAG (Safety Advisory Group) meeting minutes obtained by an FOI request”.
