On 3-5 February 2023, millions of football fans and their clubs will gather for Green Football Weekend - a weekend of football fun and competitive activities to help protect our world…imagine millions of us, in play for our world, what a difference we would make.
The competition opens a fortnight before the big weekend with clubs, big name players and communities kicking off their campaigns to get fans scoring green goals to win the Green Football Cup.
At greenfootballweekend.com fans of all ages can score green goals by pledging action or by sharing a photo of the green actions they’ve taken.
Working with the Planet League , we have created a number of resources to support schools to bring Green Football Weekend into the classroom. The activities developed for the Teachers’ Packs combine learning with football and climate action.
Schools can incorporate the resources in this pack into lesson plans between 17 January – 5 February 2023.
KEY DATES
17th Jan 2023 The tournament begins! Fans can begin to score ‘green goals’ for their clubs. In school, climate action activities can be incorporated into lessons or homework.
3-5th Feb 2023 It’s the Green Football Weekend takeover! Clubs across the country from the Premier League to school fixtures will put on greener games, and encourage mass fan participation .
