Green Football Weekend will take part between the 2nd and 5th of February where clubs will be taking part in greener games, taking action to reduce carbon pollution such as offering special deals on tasty veggie snacks, providing green transport alternatives for fans, and showcasing what they’re doing to create a greener future.

In response to the announcement of Green Football Weekend, we have proudly teamed up with A4labels.com who will be planting a tree for every Worthing (Men & Women) goal scored, as well as several other Sussex clubs. The Men face Aveley at Parkside this weekend and whilst the Women don’t have a fixture this weekend, A4labels.com will be donating from their following match against QPR on Sunday 11th February.

With the world’s largest rainforest ecosystem, the Amazon Rainforest spans 9 countries and is home to iconic species like the Jaguar, Macaw, Amazon River Dolphin, Black Spider Monkey, and Poison Dart Frog. By holding an estimated 90-140 billion metric tons of carbon, its forests play a critical role in the fight against climate change. Unfortunately, due to logging, unsustainable agriculture, and forest fires, it’s also a high-risk zone for deforestation and degradation. This tree planting project will help protect the Amazon’s biodiverse primary forests and restore degraded land. Our partners will work with local farmers to establish sustainable agroforestry using shade-grown cocoa, native tree species, and productive timber species. They will also provide training and technical assistance for participants in the sustainable agroforestry model.

At Worthing Football Club, we’re proud to be taking part in this wonderful initiative by A4labels.com and increase awareness for Green Football Weekend.
