In the end, the result was an unusual 6-5 between Arsenal London and Legia Warsaw in their friendly football match at the opening of Legia’s new stadium, in Warsaw, Poland. But, Arsenal and Legia were not the only ones to score high. It was also a victory for SIX Pay in Poland, who won the contract to supply the stadium’s restaurants and bars with contactless card payment solutions. Equipping the hospitality areas of the new stadium is just the beginning. By the end of the year, Legia Warsaw along with a major bank wants to introduce prepaid contactless ticketing for football fans coming to the stadium. Legia Warsaw’s new stadium is a pilot for contactless payment and ticketing. The plan is to roll out contactless payment technology to all Polish football stadiums. – Shepard Fox Communications is in charge of all PR and media relations for Luxembourg-based SIX Pay who is providing the technology needed for the introduction of contactless payments.
