Can grassroots football clubs lead on sustainability?
Our project partner Akademik Svishtov in Bulgaria has been working towards that!

As part of the PATHWAY project, the club implemented a pilot focused on “Waste Sorting” during a 3rd league match on 24 May 2025.

What was implemented?

- A 6-bin sorting station at the main stadium gate
- Waste separation into plastics, paper, and organics
- Clear signage and colour-coded bins
- Volunteers and security staff guided fan participation
- Coordination between the club, stadium staff, and local waste contractor

What were the results?

Estimated waste collected:
- 13 kg plastics
- 6 kg paper
- 37 kg organics

Smooth implementation with no disruptions reported

High fan engagement: over 80% exited via main gate where sorting was available

In addition, dedicated metal plastic cap collection station reached 20% capacity in just one month

Both the stadium manager and waste contractor confirmed the action was successful, feasible for regular use, and easy to integrate into existing operations, with suggestions to expand to other exits for full match-day coverage.

Back on May 24th, the Academic Svishtov club implemented its first pilot action, testing waste separation practices at “Akademik” Stadium, engaging fans in eco-conscious behaviour during a home match.

Well-labelled containers were placed allowing for separate collection of waste, helping us test whether infrastructure + awareness can enhance waste collection and recycling efforts at football events.
