Guest Article: Transforming Fan Experiences Across Africa

SKIDATA is redefining access management in stadiums and arenas across Africa, creating safer, more seamless fan experiences. Our long-term partnership with DHL Stadium in Cape Town exemplifies our commitment to innovation, simplicity, and security. Since 2015, SKIDATA has evolved the venue’s entry systems from basic scanning to fully digital, intelligent solutions – significantly reducing queue times and enhancing safety.


Faced with high international support costs and currency volatility, DHL Stadium turned to SKIDATA’s robust local support infrastructure. The result: increased efficiency and reduced operational costs, reinforcing our dedication to serving local markets with world-class standards.

Our latest enhancements include Flexgates enabled for digital tickets, RFID, and biometric access – setting new benchmarks in fan convenience and event security. These upgrades not only streamline entry but also generate valuable data for venue management.


With hundreds of venues across Africa hosting thousands of events annually, the need for reliable, scalable access solutions is clear. SKIDATA is proud to support iconic locations across the continent – and around the world – including Germany’s Allianz Arena.

We continue to change the world of welcoming people. Let us help your venue deliver unforgettable experiences.
