Abstract
This research explores the impact of football air travel on the environment for all men’s World Cup and UEFA European Football Championships hosted between 1990-2024. These tournaments required qualifying teams to travel to a host country and attract tens of thousands of supporters to stadiums throughout the host country. The supporter of teams and players travel across the host nation during their stay in the competition. Depending on the success of the team this can range from about 10 days up to 5 weeks.
