Read MoreKick climate killing sponsors out of football!
Football cannot be played in extreme heat or on a flooded field. The climate crisis also threatens football. Polluting companies use football to sell their harmful products and protect their reputation. Fossil Free Football campaigns to free football from big polluters. From fossil fuel companies to airlines, car companies invested in petrol cars and SUVs, crypto and dirty banks. Ads by big polluters need to go, just like big tobacco. As fans, we can change football. Join us!
OUR GOALS
A ban of sponsorship and ad deals with big polluters
Big polluters are under pressure. Most people want serious climate action. Many big polluters try to stop this climate action. They use football, the game we love, to sell their products and protect their image. It’s time to kick them out of our beautiful game.
Clubs should do this themselves, but the best solution is a ban by international football associations like FIFA and UEFA.
Which sponsorship deals and advertisements do we target?
We target the big polluters that try to keep selling fossil fuels and stop necessary climate action.
These include fossil fuel companies, airlines, car companies still betting on petrol cars and SUVs, cruise companies, banks that keep financing fossil fuel expansion as well as cryptocurrencies using enormous amounts of dirty energy.
A smaller, more regional football calendar
Like all sectors, professional football needs to pollute less. The current trend of an ever expanding international football calendar needs to be reversed. It leads to more polluting plane travel and huge stadiums being built for often just one tournament.
The expanding football calendar is bad for players as well, leading to more injuries and lowering the quality of the game. It’s time to change this.
Football has a huge platform. It now often gives a polluting example. It’s time to change this.
The effects of the climate crisis on football
Extreme weather events are becoming more regular because of the escalating climate crisis, caused by burning fossil fuels and destroying nature.
Heat, extreme rain and long droughts have a disastrous impact on players, supporters and the pitches on which we play the game. To protect our game, rapid action is needed.
