The Player Programme

Impact on and off the pitch

As a professional football player, you have the unique ability to kickstart change on a local and global scale. Our team is made up of like-minded players who want to use their platforms to speed up the Green Shift. In addition to making an extremely valuable contribution to mankind and the planet, our players receive training, personal branding, international networking, post-football career opportunities, and more. All levels of engagement are welcome.

How to get involved

Our Player Program has room for everyone who wants to participate, either moderately or actively.

Players can focus their participation on concrete projects, specific regions and selected SDGs.
