Football for Future launches climate adaptation blueprint for tournaments

Football for Future introduced a climate adaptation blueprint aimed at integrating climate resilience into major soccer tournaments' infrastructure and legacy programs. The Playable Future Blueprint outlines strategies for addressing the impacts of extreme weather, which have increasingly affected match conditions, player safety, and community pitches. Following issues noted during the FIFA World Cup 2026, including hydration breaks and match delays due to severe weather, the report emphasizes the need for proactive climate adaptation measures. The blueprint suggests three funding pathways to ensure these adaptations are financially supported. Football for Future founder Elliot Arthur-Worsop underscored the report's importance for safeguarding the future of soccer against climate change.
