Want to host a World Cup? According to FIFA’s *own rules* you have to meet stringent human rights standards.
With bids due for 2030 & 2034, we look at the rights risks in the main bidders – Morocco, Portugal, Spain & Saudi Arabia.
It's fair to say there's plenty to do...👇🧵

Champs League final week deserves a 🧵of 2023/4's best moments 👇
But these clips also show how fans just can't escape big polluters pushing dirty products ✈️
Football is under threat, but fossil fuel ads are still EVERYWHERE in the CL!
Let's check it out, roll the tapes! 🍿

This is a sad and dark day for football. Saudi Aramco just bought the game’s biggest platform to sell its dirty fossil fuels and clean up its grim reputation. To protect the sport we love, we need to stop this deal.
Aramco, one of the world’s leading integrated energy and chemicals companies, has signed a four-year global partnership with FIFA.

AI predicts the Champions League to 2100!
Does that win in the 2070’s get you excited or are you more worried about scientific predictions of urban flooding, extreme heat, droughts and food shortages?
Time is running out. Ban fossil ads before football’s future looks like this.
“Governments & scientists agree that we must rapidly phase-out coal if we’re to reach net zero but Adani Group is doing the exact opposite, taking lands from Indigenous communities in Australia & India in order to create new coal mines & power stations.”

There's a list of criminal investigations, environmental and human rights abuses surrounding Adani, one of the largest miners of coal globally. That the @sciencemuseum - one of our leading public cultural institutions - is continuing to facilitate such greenwashing is disgusting
Today we open Energy Revolution: The Adani Green Energy Gallery.

Man Utd has already faced a reputational backlash with its ownership ties to petro-giant INEOS.
Today it announced a three year sponsorship deal with @MalaysiaAirways at a time when we desperately need to cut emissions from aviation #fossilfreefootball

Thank you @Swarm_Dynamics Looking forward to working with you and exploring the environmental and social value of our arts and how we can contribute to systems-change ✨🌍
Taking part in The Big Plastic Count with @GreenpeaceUK and @PlasticEveryday this week. A truckload of plastic enters the ocean every single minute *and* it's propping up the fossil fuel industry. Tackling it is long overdue.
Jim Ratcliffe's millions made off the back of oil and gas enabled him to buy Manchester United. He's now trying to build the biggest petrochemicals plant in Europe for 30 years that will turbocharge plastic production.
Football 🤝Fossil fuels

"Getafe haven't just signed Mason Greenwood. They have ignored their previous principles, used the controversy as a grim marketing tool and delighted in their new followers: an army of toxic masculinity." @danielstorey85 And so it continues...

SaudiAramco as FIFA sponsor. No surprise, but unacceptable.
We need climate action to protect everything we love, including football.
We don’t need fossil fuel propaganda.

FIFA has committed to halve its emissions by 2030.
The world needs to halve its emissions by 2030.
The Moroccan, Spanish and Portuguese summer will not allow for much football in 2030.
This tournament won’t happen this way.
