EURO 2024 COUNTDOWN
100 days remain until the opening match of the UEFA EURO 2024 competition hosted in Germany. We are excited about the fabulous football that awaits us. But we are equally thrilled to release the EURO 2024 tournament feature on the F4F app 3 weeks before kick-off! This feature will allow our supporters to follow their favorite national team during the competition.
More on this coming soon!

New App Feature: Personal Goals
Proper restoration is much more than merely planting trees. This is the reason why at F4F our goal from day 1 was to restore football pitches of tropical forest. But achieving this individually on the F4F app is no easy feat. So soon we will be releasing a new version that allows our supporters to restore their pitch in several steps – starting with collecting all 4 corner flags! Stay tuned!

DO Agency Partnership
We are chuffed to welcome a new corporate partner: advertising agency DO from Australia. They are a fantastic bunch, driven by generating positive impact through their creative marketing work. They like to think outside the box to drive change - something our team at F4F appreciates greatly. “Less talk, more do”. We agree!

F4F AT THE OLYMPIASTADION
On a cold winter evening in Berlin, we ventured out to the Olympiastadion to chat with fans heading to the Hertha - HSV German Cup match. What do they know about forest restoration? And will they support a cause that restores forests for each goal scored during the game? Check out this clip for some FAN-tastic reactions.

Restoring habitat for the South America cougar
The second ongoing F4F restoration site is located in the savannahs of the Orinoquia region – that’s the northeastern part of Colombia. The ambition of this amazingly beautiful reserve is to enhance biodiversity conservation and drive regeneration and restoration of native ecosystems to allow for recovery of native fauna. Our restoration project here – thanks to you – is working on creating biological corridors between natural forests in the area. Active forest restoration supported by F4F has so far occurred on 26 pitch sized areas as of July 2023.

UN Climate Change Conference
The 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference – more commonly referred to as COP27 – was held from 6 November until 18 November 2022 in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. Our team was represented there by a number of colleagues, where we connected with likeminded initiatives, government programmes, and private sector actors on F4F’s missions and activities. It was fantastic to represent F4F at this event.

Every goal counts
"Football has rarely made positive headlines in recent weeks.
The World Cup in Qatar was overshadowed by discussions about human rights violations. But football moves people."
[In German] Frank Mertens talked to Charlotte Streck, one of the co-founders of Climate Focus, about Football For Forests for @electrifiedmagazin.

Restoration progress
With generous support from the German government (GIZ), we have been busy preparing the first two restoration sites in Colombia. The first site concerns a 35-football pitch-sized farm in the Amazon region, while the second project covers a 20 pitch-sized farm in the Orinoquia region. As we release the first fully functional app this November, we hope to be able to start restoring these sites as the goals of your favourite teams start flying in!

Forest and climate protection is a global task that requires the commitment of all of us! Football overcomes language barriers and borders easily - and unites people unity. The combination of climate protection and football fever through F4F provides the opportunity for
all of us to get involved and engage! With F4F, companies can bring their climate and social responsibility to life and become part of a global movement.

Sowohl beim Fußball als auch bei der Klimadiplomatie kommt es auf Teamgeist und den gemeinsamen Einsatz an. Als Auswärtiges Amt unterstützen wir die Football-for-Forests-Initiative und wollen damit die Begeisterung für Fußball mit dem Einsatz für mehr Klimaschutz und für mehr Aufforstung von Tropenwald verbinden.
