Club supports Green Football Weekend

The Club is proud to announce its participation in Green Football Weekend (3-5 February), a campaign that aims to highlight the impact that supporters can have in reducing their carbon footprint.

Kicking off today and running until Green Football Weekend, fans can take part in the campaign’s Green Football Cup, which uses football themed challenges to encourage sustainable behaviour in school, at work and at home – all in the name of your favourite team.

Fans can represent Spurs and score ‘goals’ for the Club by completing any of over 60 green activities, including making a meat-free family meal, taking a shorter shower, walking to work or the new Layer Up Challenge which encourages people to try and put on as many football tops as possible in 30 seconds.

🏆 It’s time to #LayerUp for the @PlanetLge Cup!

See how @AshNev10 got on and go green for your team 🌍

By completing climate-friendly actions and scoring green goals, fans can help do their part to tackle climate change and protect nature.

Tottenham Hotspur Women defender and Green Football Cup Ambassador Amy Turner said: “Climate change affects all of us. That’s why it’s so important that football continues to use its unique platform to inspire the millions of people it reaches to make a difference. Green Football Weekend is fan action at its most powerful. It’s fans who can lead their club to victory in the Green Football Cup, and fans showing the world what we can achieve together by making simple changes in our lives. I’m extremely proud to be playing for Tottenham Hotspur – a Club that takes environmental sustainability seriously and is giving its backing to this fantastic initiative.”

Tottenham Hotspur is dedicated to minimising the environmental impacts of its activities across all Club operations.

For three consecutive years, Tottenham Hotspur has been named the English Premier League’s greenest club following a study carried out by BBC Sport and the UN-backed Sport Positive Summit.

Tottenham Hotspur is a proud signatory of the UN Sports for Climate Action Framework’s ‘Race To Zero’, committing to halve its carbon emissions by 2030 and become net zero by 2040.

Our range of sustainability measures include:

• 100 per cent renewable energy and Zero Scope 2 emissions at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with LED lighting (including floodlights) and high efficiency building services systems in place to reduce energy use.
• A ‘zero to landfill’ waste management programme, with clear recycling instructions for fans on its bins, as well as a reusable beer cup scheme.
• Single-use plastic reduction measures in place across the Club – players drink water from cartons, food is served in recyclable packing with wooden cutlery, and even beer keg caps are recycled at the stadium.
• All food served inside the stadium is locally and sustainably sourced, with plant-based options available across all outlets and in Premium areas.
• Significant investment into our local transport infrastructure with the stadium served by four train stations, a free matchday shuttle bus and cycling provision.
• An ecological habitat established at our Training Centre, including an organic Kitchen Garden, hundreds of new and semi-mature trees and tens of thousands of new plants and hedgerows, bug hotels and bat houses, wildlife ponds, green roofs to capture and re-harvest rainwater, solar panels and air source heat pumps.
• The Nike shirts that players wear on the pitch and the replica jerseys for fans to buy are constructed with 100 per cent recycled polyester fabric, which is made from recycled bottles.
