UEFA: partnership with SolarPower Europe to promote the use of sustainable energy

UEFA has signed a collaboration agreement with SolarPower Europe, a photovoltaic industry organisation based in Brussels (BEL), to promote the use of sustainable energy sources among the various stakeholders in European football, announced the governing body on 27/04/2025.

"The collaboration aims to support UEFA, national football associations, and clubs in reducing their carbon footprint by integrating renewable energy solutions into their daily activities," explained the European confederation, which has been rolling out an online carbon footprint calculator to UEFA clubs, leagues and federations under since March 2024.

"As part of a Cooperation Agreement, the partnership will focus on expanding solar power use, facilitating Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for long-term renewable energy supply, and hosting a webinar in 2025 to inform national football associations about solar energy and storage options," added UEFA.

"This partnership brings valuable expertise to a constantly evolving area of our work" (M. Uva, UEFA)
