FFF to co-host a New York City event on how football adapts to climate change

Are you interested in protecting the future of football, and aligning your brand with one of the most important global moments of 2026?

On July 18th 2026, Football For Future and Columbia University’s Master of Science in Sustainability Management will host an invitation-only convening in New York bringing together senior leaders across football, sustainability, culture, finance, academia, and media to discuss one urgent question:

How does football adapt to climate change?

The evening will include:

• The launch of a first-of-its-kind climate resilience framework for major tournaments

• An exclusive preview of Pitches in Peril, our upcoming documentary exploring football and climate across World Cup host nations

• A live panel discussion featuring leaders across football, climate, media, and sustainability

• A curated gathering of decision-makers shaping the future of sport and sustainability

With the World Cup Final bringing the global football industry into one city, we see this as a rare opportunity to create meaningful conversations, and long-term action, around the future of the game.

We are currently looking for strategic sponsors and partners aligned with:

• Sport & culture

• Sustainability & climate innovation

• Infrastructure & resilience

• Community impact

• Media & storytelling

Partnership opportunities include:

• Event sponsorship

• Panel partnership

• Brand visibility & hosted guest access

• Content and storytelling collaboration
