In a statement, FIFA stated they want to set a ‘benchmark’ and leave a ‘legacy’ but achieving such a target. The organisation plans to accomplish this by implementing waste procedures, water management practices, sustainable building and low emission alternatives. 8 stadiums will need to be refurbished in preparation for the tournament, and FIFA has demanded that sustainable building regulations are followed during the process as well as assessing the environmental impact.
Here’s hoping FIFA are able to set an example for future event across the globe!
