Green Football Initiative with Real Betis

This document contains a detailed description of the Green fans. Green Football campaign as a part of the Forever Green project by Real Betis Balompié. The “Green Fans. Green Football" initiative is a comprehensive environmental sustainability project led by Real Betis Balompié under their Forever Green project aiming to harness the club's extensive fan base to drive substantial environmental change within the sports industry. This initiative seeks to engage fans in sustainability efforts by collecting and recycling plastic waste to be used in constructing a new, eco-friendly stadium, addressing plastic pollution while fostering environmental responsibility among football supporters. The mission is to cultivate a culture of sustainability within the football community, positioning Real Betis as a pioneer in sports sustainability and inspiring other clubs to adopt similar practices. Key objectives include promoting recycling through educational campaigns, incentive programs where fans earn points for recycling redeemable for rewards like match tickets, discounts and merchandise, and organizing regular recycling events. The logistics strategy involves setting up four strategically placed collection points around the old Estadio Benito Villamarín. A dedicated app and a section on the website will facilitate fan participation and provide real-time updates, while a robust incentive structure and collaborations with influencers will amplify engagement.
