South Africa is back at the World Cup since 2010. But the 2026 tournament could be the most carbon-intensive ever, while FIFA is sponsored by the world's biggest oil company.

Why does sport, even in its most humanitarian guise, sell its sportswashing services to deeply problematic, high-polluting sponsors?
INVESTIGATION: Why was Edmilson representing Barcelona deep in the Amazon jungle?
The Barca Foundation is a force for good — but indigenous leaders say a partnership with Gran Tierra Energy sportswashes the oil company's alleged abuses.

Gli sport invernali hanno bisogno di neve, non di aziende inquinanti.
Eni, il colosso italiano del petrolio e del gas, sponsorizza le Olimpiadi e le Paralimpiadi invernali di Milano Cortina per ripulirsi l’immagine e nascondere la distruzione causata dalle sue emissioni.
Chi alimenta la crisi climatica, minacciando la sopravvivenza di ghiaccio e neve da cui i Giochi Invernali dipendono, non può essere sponsor dei Giochi!
È ora che il Comitato Olimpico Internazionale rinunci alle sponsorizzazioni da parte delle aziende del petrolio e del gas.
Se anche tu pensi che chi inquina non dovrebbe salire sul podio dei Giochi, condividi il video.
