FC Bayern again setting example for Bavarian Climate Weeks

Climate protection will also be highlighted in a sporting context at FC Bayern Basketball’s home game against Bamberg Baskets on 12 October at BMW Park. Plans include lighting up the LED floor at BMW Park – powered by 100% green electricity – interactive activities on the concourse to provide information about climate protection, and interviews with Minister of State Thorsten Glauber and Benny Folkmann, managing director of FC Bayern e.V., who will highlight the club’s commitment to the cause. Fans can actively participate, learn more about sustainable mobility and energy, and experience how climate protection can be integrated into everyday sports.

Thorsten Glauber, Bavarian Minister for the Environment and Consumer Protection: “An event like this is exactly the right stage to talk about such an important topic as climate protection. Sport inspires enthusiasm, and basketball is pure emotion, especially in this all-Bavarian classic. We want to transfer these positive feelings to the topic of climate. Just as FC Bayern wants to become champions, we want to master climate change together.”

Adrian Sarmiento, FC Bayern Basketball commercial director: “With this campaign on a game day, FC Bayern Basketball is sending a clear signal for climate and environmental protection. We not only want to raise awareness but also make a concrete commitment to Munich and the region. Climate protection is an important issue for us – one that we are promoting together with our fans.”

Finally, climate protection will also be the focus of attention at the Champions League match between FC Bayern Women and Juventus on 16 October at the FC Bayern Campus (kick-off: 9pm CEST). In addition to information about Climate Weeks, there will be a half-time event with mascot Mia to raise awareness of environmental and sustainability issues.
