It is not a separate organisation. ## Preferred language Use “football”, not “soccer”, unless referring to quoted page copy or market-specific language on Brazil, Mexico or US pages. Use “extreme weather” and “climate impacts” when describing the risks to football. Use “climate change” where appropriate, especially when referring to research, reports or campaign pages that use the term directly. Do not describe Where Football Lives as only an environmental campaign. It is a football-first campaign about protecting the places, routines, communities and culture that football depends on.
