Planet Super League is a new idea in sustainability. Our mission is to use the power of football to engage fans in action on the environment. We plan to launch a global competition, where fan groups play to win points by going green. Supporters declare their allegiance to their chosen club and the points they win are collected over the season, with the winning team lifting the trophy in a star-studded televised event at the end of year. Football has the ability to break down barriers, talk to billions of people and mobilise their enormous fan bases (some bigger than countries!). Twinned with the competitive nature of sport, it’s an unbelievable chance to make a positive change to our planet.
