The worst offender? ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ. These polluting deals account for 75% of footballโs total emissions. Polluting companies regularly use football to promote high-carbon lifestyles like excessive air travel to billions of fans.

Yet, football itself is making the crisis worse. The study reveals that the sport emits 64-66 million tonnes of CO2e per yearโmore many countries' annual emissions.

๐ฅณ๐ฅ HUGE WIN for @StopCambo! Massive congrats to all who have campaigned tirelessly for this. This is a breakthrough for public over private interests. For a liveable future over fossil fuel profits. Now, the government must cancel Rosebank and ban new oil and gas for good.
BREAKING ๐จ: WE WON OUR CASE AGAINST ROSEBANK. The court has ruled the oil field UNLAWFUL and Rosebankโs approval has been overturned. This is a monumental victory in the fight for a liveable future for all.

Yesterday, world No. 1 Jannik Sinner teetered on the brink due to extreme heat at the Australian Open. Yet, the tournament still advertises the polluting industries that profit from business-as-usual warming. @AustralianOpen โ climate leadership means dropping Emirates and Kia.
Jannik Sinner physically shaking during his match against Rune at Australian Open He told his team he wasnโt able to โmove to his leftโ Visibly struggling and hasnโt been the same for the last two sets Likely adrenaline combined with not feeling 100%

On Wednesday, Saudi Arabia were announced as the 2034 World Cup host following a corrupt bidding process. ๐ฐ๐จ Thankfully, a growing number of athletes are calling out polluters using sport as a promotional platform. Here's Wycombe Wanderers player @djwheeler07 on LBC. ๐

Unsustainable tournament expansion ๐ฅ Climate wrecking sponsors ๐ฅ Huge travel demands โ๏ธ Unaffordable ticket prices ๐ต Who does the @FIFACWC benefit? Bad for the planet! Bad for players! Bad for fans!๐ฅโ๏ธ๐ต
2013 Infantino: "UEFA shares fans concerns that increased ticket prices are making attending matches unaffordable for many, particularly families." 2024 Infantino: "Give me $2230." What an absolute chancer.

As the climate crisis worsens, FIFA made the world's biggest oil company the sponsor of the world's biggest event... A worthy winner of the Own Goal Award in this year's Bad Sport Awards ๐
โฝ๏ธ ๐ข๐๐ป ๐๐ผ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ. FIFA is the leading body of the most popular sport across the globe. โฝ๏ธ Sadly, this leadership does not appear to extend to the climate. ๐ This year, FIFA announced its sponsorship deal with the world's largest fossil fuel firm, Saudi Aramco. ๐คฆ
