We are delighted to announce an exciting new partnership with This Is FC88 that will help drive sustainability in the world of football.
Together we have developed a premium selection of footballs made entirely from outdated and damaged football jerseys. These unique footballs are handmade by our skilled teams across Alive and Kicking Kenya and Alive and Kicking Zambia. Thanks to our production expertise, the team have been able to test new techniques in order to find an effective way of creating a beautifully finished ball.
Working closely with football clubs across Europe and the UK, FC88 has set a new standard for sustainability within the industry. Collaborations with prominent entities like Tottenham Hotspur, the Dutch football federation, and Club Brugge have brought environmental consciousness to the forefront of the football world. The company operates dedicated upcycling studios in the UK, the Netherlands, and Portugal, ensuring a local and eco-friendly approach to the process.
“We believe in the power of sport to create positive change, and this collaboration with Alive and Kicking exemplifies our commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. These premium upcycled footballs are more than just products; they represent a shared vision of making the world a better place through football. We are incredibly excited that we have managed to design and produce footballs from outdated apparel. This will be the next step in the development and positive impact of our products,” said Nicole Bekkers, CEO of FC88.
“Collaborating with FC88 has been an incredibly inspiring journey for Alive and Kicking. We’ve always believed in the power of sport to transform lives, and this partnership takes our mission to a whole new level. Together, we’re not only crafting footballs from old jerseys, but we’re also crafting opportunities, and a brighter future for the communities we work with. FC88’s commitment to sustainability aligns perfectly with our mission to create positive social change through the manufacturing of footballs”, said Ben Sadler of Alive and Kicking.
