Go BIG or go home!

GGWCUP NYC QUALIFIER

Meet these awesome ladies who work for MLS, -the home of Soccer in USA. They all share a deep passion for growing The Beautiful Game in North America, and doing that sustainably is part of the mission. They enter the GGWCup Playing for Goal 14: Life Below Water. -Which has what to do with Soccer?

Here is what: When you see the team in their uniforms you might think -"Seriously, that was the most innovative and creative thing you could come up with..- Soccer jerseys?" But think again. They are not just ordinary jerseys, they are an amazing example of what happens when sustainable technology meets the billion dollar sports industry. Because they are from the MLS x Adidas x Parley collection of clothing made from recycled ocean plastic. Which is what all MLS teams have been playing in since Earth Day (April 10th) this year! 

At GGWCup we are always going on about the great potential of sport to open the hearts and minds of millions of fans to sustainable development. Well, MLS is aiming to lead the pack through this and a number of other initiatives. -As they say: Go big or go home! 

GOOD LUCK LADIES!
