AS Roma is stepping onto the field alongside Ogyre, an Italian startup committed to protecting the Ocean, with a shared goal: removing 30,000 kilograms of marine litter and making a tangible contribution to environmental protection.
This new collaboration stems from the desire to unite sport and sustainability, transforming the passion for football into a concrete act in support of the Planet. Thanks to Ogyre and its international network of fishers who collect marine waste daily in Italy, Indonesia, and Brazil, each kilogram retrieved represents a meaningful step towards a cleaner future.
Through this initiative, AS Roma takes real action for the environment and reaffirms its commitment to the new generations of fans and citizens who are increasingly concerned about the climate crisis. The campaign, running throughout the year, will include awareness and communication activities aimed at engaging Roma supporters and highlighting the team’s positive impact beyond the pitch.
For Ogyre, this collaboration is an extraordinary opportunity to raise awareness about ocean health and plastic pollution among a broad and passionate audience.
With an ambitious goal – 30 tonnes of waste collected – AS Roma and Ogyre show that football can be a powerful catalyst for change. When the values of sport align with a commitment to the environment, they create a force capable of inspiring millions of people, on and off the field.
The Club’s participation in this project is part of the Circular Economy and Climate Emergency policies, falling under AS Roma’s Sustainability Strategy. Visit our website’s page dedicated to AS Roma’s environmental sustainability initiatives to follow the campaign!

Article written by Carlo Rombolà What does diplomacy have to do with sports—football in particular? A lot, especially at the highest levels.
