Guidance only works when it reaches the pitch. Together with @UEFA, we created the Football Event Sustainability Manual for matchday ESG action. During their @SerieA match vs Cagliari, @Udinese_1896 put it to the test: - 2,400+ solar panels active - Waste sorting & food recovery - Fan bicycle mobility - Accessible, low-impact catering By measuring & improving event delivery, Udinese is setting the benchmark. Which club will be next?

Last week, @EuropeanLeagues General Secretary Alberto Colombo attended the @PortugalFSummit, where he joined a panel session focused on the Governance of the game together with leading figure such us @FIFPRO Europe President David Terrier and other stakeholders’ representatives. He reiterated European Leagues’ call for comprehensive reform of FIFA’s governance. Domestic leagues, clubs and players must have a meaningful voice in decisions affecting the football calendar and competitions. He stressed that recent developments at FIFA have only reinforced the systemic governance concerns behind European Leagues’ formal complaint to the European Commission in October 2024, particularly in relation to FIFA’s dual role as both regulator and commercial operator. He also highlighted the need for all stakeholders to tackle the growing financial and sporting polarisation within European football as a priority. Stronger solidarity and a fairer, more sustainable distribution of revenues across the football pyramid would help safeguard the long-term sustainability, competitiveness and diversity of clubs across Europe.

Today, on the International Day of Peace, @EuropeanLeagues joins the global call for peace. Football cannot resolve conflicts, but it has a unique capacity to bring people together, bridge differences and create a shared sense of belonging. Every week, domestic leagues and their clubs connect millions of people across Europe. With that reach comes a responsibility to promote respect, inclusion, dialogue and solidarity - on the pitch, in our stadiums and throughout our communities.
