EFDN celebrates LALIGA’s and FUNDACIÓN LALIGA’s Recognition for Environmental Sustainability in Football
EFDN is delighted to congratulate LALIGA for the recent recognition awarded by the Patrocina a un Deportista organisation. LALIGA’s innovative and impactful work in environmental sustainability, supported by Football for Climate Justice’s partner FUNDACIÓN LALIGA, has been honoured with the prestigious Best Project on Sustainability in Sport award.
FUNDACIÓN LALIGA’s various projects over the past year show an amazing approach to incorporating environmental awareness and action in football. Notably, the Football for Climate Justice Erasmus project and the Environmental Fair Play Manual introduced in 2024 exemplify the Foundation’s vision to lead an important change in the football industry towards sustainability practices.
The Environmental Fair Play project, funded by CVC, is a pillar of FUNDACIÓN LALIGA’s sustainability efforts. This platform is designed to provide educational resources and share best practices with clubs, helping them to adopt eco-friendly operations to pursue a culture of ecological responsibility in football. Through this initiative, FUNDACIÓN LALIGA wants to make an impact not only within Spanish football but also globally, thanks to the huge visibility that the Spanish league has worldwide.
The Patrocina a un Deportista awards celebrated other organisations and athletes for their achievements in areas such as social impact, gender equality, and innovation in sports. Among the honorees, prominent figures like Marta Arce and María Delgado have been awarded for their exemplary values (LG Award for Values), but also organisations like Cadiz CF, for LGBT diversity, and Abada Club, for promoting healthy physical activity.
As a partner of FUNDACIÓN LALIGA, EFDN is proud to witness this acknowledgment of their ongoing efforts and successes. We share a vision of using football to inspire positive social change and are committed to supporting FUNDACIÓN LALIGA’s future initiatives.
Congratulations once again to LALIGA FUNDACIÓN LALIGA and all the awardees for their remarkable achievements in making football a force for positive change!
