LOCAL football clubs have been amongst the first in the country to sign-up for a new initiative organised by The FA and Lowr to help the sport become more sustainable.

The Essex County FA were one of the early adopters of the new programme, and they’re urging as many clubs as possible to make a New Year’s Resolution to support a greener game, get involved… and possibly win a prize! Lowr and The FA want to gain a better understanding of how people travel to and from football training and matches to help reduce football’s carbon footprint.

They’ve put together a quick and easy tool for players, parents and coaches to log their travel. There are some fantastic prizes available for getting involved: every trip logged earns and entry into a prize draw, with Wembley tickets up for grabs each month.

There’s also a chance for clubs to train at the iconic St George’s Park! Clubs can share this portal link with all of their parents, players, coaches and officials – the more people who can get involved, the better. The FA and Lowr have made it as easy as possible to share, by putting together some posters and messages to post across different channels.

Find out more about this quick and easy tool for players, parents and coaches to log their travel via www.essexfa.com. You can also find the Essex County FA on X, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok. For any questions or support regarding the platform, please don’t hesitate to E-Mail [email protected].
