Today, Sounders FC joins in the observance of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day worldwide celebration. Despite Major League Soccer’s current suspension of play, the Rave Green remain dedicated to that commitment in 2020 and going forward, partnering with Earth Day Northwest 2020, an organization working toward a sustainable Pacific Northwest for all people, focusing on the pillars of environment, equity and inclusion and the built community.
In 2019, Sounders FC became the first professional soccer team in North America and the first sports team among the five major American leagues – MLS, NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB – to go completely carbon neutral.
