We campaign for serious climate action in football. This means no more polluting sponsors like oil and gas companies and airlines. It means a smarter football calendar, with less polluting flights. This is what you can do:
1.
A ban on sponsorship and ad deals with big polluters
Companies that sell high-carbon products are under pressure. Their products are polluting and we know it. Many of them have a track record of blocking climate action. These companies use football, the game we love, to sell their products and protect their image. We need to kick them out of our beautiful game. Clubs should do this themselves, but we need regulations by football bodies to achieve structural change. This can be done by a fossil ad ban, as they are already adopted in many cities. A fossil ad ban follows the example of the tobacco ad ban.
2.
A smaller, smarter football calendar
Professional football needs to lower its climate impact. The current practice of an ever expanding international football calendar, with ever more and bigger tournaments is not the way to go. Not for players and not for the planet. A smaller and more regional international football calendar will allow for more sustainable team and fan travel.
