Tens of thousands of football matches cancelled, thousands of hours of cricket lost, golf courses threatened. No sport is immune from the heatwaves, droughts, storms and floods that climate change brings.

🚨SPORTSWASH ALERT🚨

Some of the biggest funders of fossil fuels are using sport to distract us from them bankrolling climate chaos

⚽️ Liverpool FC shirt sponsor Standard Chartered provided $71.42 billion to fossil fuel projects since 2016

Flying heats the planet and worsens extreme weather disasters.

Football is right to care for today's victims, but promoting polluting sponsors puts a safe future in danger.
