Read MoreKick polluting sponsors out of football!
Football cannot be played in extreme heat or on a flooded field. But even though the game is highly exposed to extreme weather, it is making the situation worse with massive fossil fuel pollution.
We love the game, but we see what’s going on. Even as climate impacts threaten football, its leaders embrace the fossil fuel industry which is using it to keep the world hooked on pollution. That’s why we’re campaigning to free football from big polluters.
Harmful advertising must have no place in our game. Just like tobacco, we need a fossil ad ban.
Fans have the power to change the game, will you join us?
OUR GOALS
A ban on the promotion of big polluters
Those that profit from pollution are under pressure because most people want serious climate action. But polluters are using football to squash the backlash, sell their products and protect their image. It’s time to kick them out.
We are targeting fossil fuel companies, airlines, vehicle manufacturers still committed to ICEs, cruiselines, banks that finance fossil fuels and energy hungry crypto products, as well as pro-pollution regimes.
Fans, players and clubs should act, but the best solution is a ban on polluters by governing bodies.
A smaller, regionalised football calendar
Football, just like any ‘industry’, needs to cut its pollution. But the game’s leaders are committed to a ‘business as usual’ approach based on endless expansion.
That means huge pollution linked to international travel and the construction of huge new stadiums.
The expanding football calendar is also unwanted many by players and fans, who feel exploited.
