A new initiative by the Amateur League to support the environment during the Beach Soccer Scudetto Finals
Rome, July 30, 2025- A concrete commitment to the environment, made through sports, specifically beach soccer, which aims to plant trees.
Tied to this goal is the commitment of the Amateur League’s CSR Area, which during the finals launches a partnership with Sylva Foundation, a nonprofit organization that focuses on environmental regeneration through forestation.
In addition to other initiatives, the partnership includes entering the field with jerseys provided by Sylva Foundation. They are green in color and communicate the message in support of the environment, which translates into an ongoing and concrete commitment, “There is no more oxygen to lose.”
The initiative comes to life at the final stage of Beach Soccer in Cirò Marina (KR), an evocative setting that hosts the Q8 Men’s and Women’s Serie A championship finals, the Q8 Under 20 national championship in addition to the playoffs of the Poule Promozione and Serie B.
“The Amateur League’s commitment and attention to environmental protection remains constant,” explains Luca De Simoni, Coordinator Area CSR Lega Dilettanti , “and the collaboration with Fondazione Sylva represents a fundamental piece of a path undertaken by Beach Soccer that is increasingly focused on sustainability, juxtaposing the planting of trees with a series of growing attentions to reduce the impact of the Beach Soccer Tour.”
“We are very happy to collaborate with the National Amateur League, which makes sport a vehicle for spreading the values of social and environmental responsibility,” says Sylva Foundation President Luigi de Vecchi . This is an extraordinary opportunity to join forces, involving athletes, the public, and fans, and contribute together to mitigate the effects of climate change. For each match of the Beach Soccer 2025 men’s and women’s championship, Sylva will plant a tree belonging to the Mediterranean scrub species. The goal is to create forests to produce oxygen and preserve biodiversity.”
