Green Football unleashes the passion of the football community to tackle climate change and protect nature, uniting fans, clubs, players, pundits, broadcasters, grassroots teams and schools.
WE ARE GREEN FOOTBALL
Climate change is threatening the future of football, with 100,000 games likely to be called off due to flooding in 2025. We need action to protect the game we love. The football community is uniting around things we can do to protect our planet and protect our game. This year, we’re coming together to make the Great Save, saving kit from ending up in landfill.
Every year, an estimated 100,000 tonnes of sportswear ends up in UK landfills. If this clothing were distributed among a packed crowd at Wembley Stadium with 90,000 people, each person would receive over 2,500 pieces of clothing. Keeping your kit in play for just nine more months can reduce its carbon, water and waste footprint by up to 30%.
OUR HAT-TRICK
2025 marks the third Green Football campaign, and we want to make this year our biggest yet.
In 2024, Green Football’s Great Save made a real impact:
- We reached over 30 million people across television, social media, in schools and at events.
- Green Football helped normalise climate conversation in football.
- Fans scored 20,000 green goals by trying new climate-friendly habits.
- More than 100 players and 115 clubs from the Premier League, English Football League, and Women’s Super League participated.
- 81% of fans who saw the campaign on Sky Sports said it made them want to do more to combat the climate crisis.
In 2025
Now, in 2025, we’re asking fans, clubs, and leagues across the UK to make Green Football’s biggest save yet, keeping thousands of kits in play and out of landfill.
Football has the unbelievable power to unite everyone – clubs, players and fans from across the community – with a common goal to take action
