We all need clean air to live, grow and play
But unfortunately, in Europe today, nearly a quarter of a million people die each year due to poor air quality. We want to use the power of football to change this. The Clean Air Champions League was started by a group of football clubs and associations in five EU countries because we wanted to help our fans and the communities around our stadiums to understand the importance of clean air and measure local air quality.
The League is built on Three Pillars that help make the invisible visible.
Air Quality Monitors:
With the help of the fans, we strategically situate air quality monitoring stations near football stadiums to gather crucial data, sparking awareness and action.
The League Table:
The introduction of a league system where football clubs compete based on local air quality records is a novel approach. This incentivises environmental engagement and fosters a healthy rivalry among clubs.
Community Education:
The project aims to turn football venues into hubs for environmental education and action, fostering community-driven engagement through educational programs.
