THE FOOTBALL MANIFESTO
FOR THE PLANET
We stand united behind one goal: to protect the game we love.
Our pitches are at risk of flooding. Our players struggle with heat exhaustion. The future of our game is under threat. That’s why, in the countdown to COP30, we ask world leaders to step onto the pitch for Earth. This is the most decisive match we’ll ever play: win it, and the game goes on.
AN APPEAL TO WORLD LEADERS: IT’S TIME FOR A GAME PLAN TO PROTECT OUR PLANET AND SAVE FOOTBALL.
Invest in our future:
Investing in the planet is a wonder goal. Finance the transition to a sustainable future, especially for the most vulnerable communities.
Defend our pitches:
Protect our forests, our biodiversity, and the people who guard them.
Make the substitution:
It’s time to accelerate the transition to a world of clean, renewable energy.
Fix the system:
Support sustainable agriculture and cut waste so everyone has food on the table.
Red card for big polluters:
The game must be fair, and fouls have to be called.
Team spirit:
Bring everyone onto the field – businesses, cities, people, and communities. No one dribbles alone.
OUR COMMITMENT: WE PLAY TOGETHER FOR THE PLANET
We – fans, players, clubs, and everyone who breathes football – commit to setting rivalries aside, uniting as a single team for the planet.
We commit to organising our sport sustainably and using the power of football, from the pitch to social media, to build a future where victory is possible.
Football is our passion and our platform. Let’s use it so football has a future.
No planet. No football. Join us for the biggest game of our lives.
Together, we win.
