World’s Greenest Football Club to Build Stadium (Almost) Entirely from Wood!

The “greenest team in the world” will build the UK’s first all-timber stadium after Forest Green Rovers FC – currently competing in the fifth division of English Football – was given the green light to construct the world’s first “climate-positive” football pitch.

Described by FIFA as the “greenest football club on earth,” after players started wearing kits made of recycled plastic and coffee grounds and the club introduced a vegan-only menu at games, the football club—which will build a 5,000-seater stadium out of mass timber—has already been recognised by the UN as the world’s first carbon-neutral sporting club.
