Michele Uva, UEFA's Director of Social & Environmental Sustainability, stated: "We aim to enhance sustainable football infrastructure by advancing renewable energy implementation and best practices. This partnership brings valuable expertise to a constantly evolving area of our work."
Walburga Hemetsberger, CEO of SolarPower Europe, added: "Solar and football already energize communities and nations across Europe – they're a perfect match. We're proud to take a natural step in working with UEFA to support their 2030 sustainability goals."
As part of a Cooperation Agreement, the partnership will focus on expanding solar power use, facilitating Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for long-term renewable energy supply, and hosting a webinar in 2025 to inform national football associations about solar energy and storage options.
