The 5 best green stadium in the world The most crucial way for football clubs to reduce their environmental impact

In the many ways in which football can contribute to solving environmental problems, the sustainability of stadiums is the first step. Clubs are continuing to work on the sustainability and environmental impact of football through new actions not only on merchandising products, but above all on stadiums, the real sustainability center of a football club. Because more than training facilities and playing materials, implants are the real creatures that can lighten the environmental impact of a football club. 

In the Premier League, the lowest environmental impact factor is calculated mainly thanks to the technological and material capabilities of gaming systems. Not by chance, the Emirates Stadium and The New Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, two of the last stadiums built, allow teams to be at the top of the leaderboard, taking into account key factors such as renewable energy use, carbon emissions, plastic use and water saving. Based on these principles, many of Russia's 2018 plants have been built and renovated and will be virtually all those for the next Qatar 2022 World Cup. Taking into account the above characteristics, on nss sports we wanted to name the 5 best sustainable stadiums in the world. 

1- Kaohsiung World Stadium - Taiwan

It hasn't been finished yet (and that's why it's a bonus track), but Forest Green Rovers' Eco Park - built by Zaha Hadid's studio - is a candidate to be the greenest facility in football history. In fact, the project presented in January 2020, proposes a totally eco-sustainable gaming system, covered with a transparent membrane (which will allow to filter sunlight and shade spectators in the stands) and, top element, the construction of the entire wooden structure. Materials that would usually be made of steel or brick, will be made of wood, which will integrate very well with the surrounding reality. In fact, the stadium is part of a park of more than 40 hectares where other playgrounds and, in general, other public spaces will also be built. It is no coincidence that Hector Bellerin is also among Forrest's shareholders.
