Amateur League and a concrete commitment to the'environment
A concrete commitment to the’environment, achieved through sport, specifically beach soccer, which aims to plant trees.
Bound up with this goal is the commitment of the Amateur League’s CSR Area, which during the finals launches a partnership with the Sylva Foundation, a nonprofit organization that deals with environmental regeneration through forestation.
The partnership includes, in addition to other initiatives, entering the field with jerseys provided by Sylva Foundation. They are green in color and communicate the message in support of the’environment, which translates into an ongoing and concrete commitment, “There’s no more oxygen to lose”.
The’initiative comes to life on the occasion of the final stages of Beach Soccer in Cirò Marina (KR), an evocative setting that hosts the Q8 Men’s and Women’s Serie A championship finals, the Q8 Under 20 national championship in addition to the playoffs of the Poule Promozione and Serie B.
“The Amateur League’s commitment and attention to environmental protection remains constant – explains Luca De Simoni, Coordinator Area CSR Lega Dilettanti – and the collaboration with Fondazione Sylva represents a key piece of a path undertaken by Beach Soccer increasingly focused on sustainability, juxtaposing the planting of trees with a series of growing attentions to reduce the impact of the Beach Soccer Tour”.
“We are very happy to collaborate with the National Amateur League, which makes sport a vehicle to spread the values of social and environmental responsibility– says Sylva Foundation President Luigi de Vecchi.”
It is an extraordinary opportunity to join forces, involving athletes, the public, and fans, and contribute together to mitigate the effects of climate change. For each match of the Beach Soccer 2025 championship, both men’s and women’s, Sylva will plant a tree belonging to Mediterranean scrub species. The goal is to create forests to produce oxygen and preserve biodiversity”.
