Here’s a sneak peek at some practical quick wins:
✅ Reusable Cups – Royal Antwerp FC has partnered with Aucxis to roll out a clever RFID-based reusable cup system. Instead of paying a deposit upfront, fans have it reserved digitally – if they return the cup, the deposit is cancelled automatically. Shorter queues, no plastic waste, and better data for the club.
✅ Paperless Ticketing – Juventus has gone fully digital. Fans get tickets straight to their phones, cutting paper waste and making stadium entry faster and smoother.
✅ Energy-Efficient Lighting – PSV Eindhoven’s Philips Stadion swapped old lighting for smart LEDs that save energy and help keep the pitch in top shape – all fully automated.
✅ Solar Panels – KAA Gent is generating clean energy right on the roof of the Ghelamco Arena. It’s a clear sign that renewable energy and football are a great match.
These are just a few examples from our full list of 10 quick sustainability wins for football. Other clubs leading the way include Section Paloise (eco-friendly merchandise), Forest Green Rovers (fully vegan catering), Tottenham Hotspur (smart water-saving tech), Feyenoord (green matchday transport with RET), Croke Park (zero landfill waste), and Strawberry Arena in Sweden (aiming for top BREEAM certification).
