Green Football
Unleashing the power of football to tackle climate change
Alongside the Football Association (FA), EFL, Women’s Super League, and 80 clubs, Pledgeball is a founding member of Green Football Weekend, an annual campaign uniting different stakeholders to raise awareness of climate change and promote environmental sustainability.
In season 2023/2024, the campaign expanded its reach and impact, engaging 115 professional clubs in the UK, with support from more than 100 footballers, pundits, and famous fans. It generated significant public awareness through 479 media stories, reaching over 30 million people and inspiring fans to make nearly 20,000 pledges in the Green Football Cup.
In 2024/25, Green Football ran from 11th March to 2nd April. The theme was ‘The Great Save’, highlighting the environmental impact of fast fashion in football, encouraging fans to prevent millions of tonnes of sportswear from ending up in landfills.
