Forest Green Rovers are excited to announce that The New Lawn has been awarded an Outstanding Certification for the International Greener Arena Award at the AGF Awards on Tuesday evening.

We're delighted to be the first winners of the International Greener Arena Award, showing that sustainability and football can go hand in hand.

From local community work including Community Cookalongs, Soccer Camps and venue Eco Tours to an organic pitch with no use of pesticides or chemical fertilisers, and of course, our 100% plant-based menu for all!

Forest Green Rovers Chairman Dale Vince said, “Thank you. Thanks to all the team at Forest Green Rovers, you do an amazing job.”
