Located in a northeastern region of Italy are Udinese, a football club who take pride in their quest for environment maintenance.First opened in 1976, the 25,144-capacity Bluenergy Stadium is what the Serie A side have called home for 50 years.The Bluenergy Stadium in Udine has been championed for its sustainability workGettyIt hosted three matches at the 1990 World Cup as South Korea, Spain and Uruguay all fought in Group E for knockout stage qualification.But off the pitch, the stadium has been celebrated by the De Sanctis Foundation having been awarded its Sustainability Award last year.The roof’s solar park was a major factor, with the venue also being cited as a ‘sustainable, innovative, inclusive and responsible space’.Udinese’s chief commercial officer Magda Pozzo believes even more can be done, but acknowledges that it may not even be feasible.Speaking to talkSPORT at the club’s international media days event on potential redevelopment, she said: “I think the most important, we are using the UEFA football calculator.“So that means that for us, it gives us an idea of where we stand, which is very important to know your limits as well in what you are doing. “So looking at that, I think of course all the teams that are very fond of sustainability or their cultural sustainability, the objective would be to be carbon, totally carbon free. But it’s impossible.”Accessibility is the target for UdineseImproved sustainability aside, Udinese want to address a particularly challenging issue that simply stems from their geographical location.The city of Udine is a little over 20 km (12.4 miles) from the Slovenian border, and around 54 km (34 miles) from fellow neighbours Austria.Their traditional rivals are US Triestina, who are also from Friuli-Venezia Giulia but haven’t played Udinese since 1992.Solar panels on the roof of the stadium give Udinese a renewable source of powerGettyHowever, the stadium is a fair distance away from some of the club’s Serie A rivalsGettyHellas Verona are their closest league rivals this season, yet they are still approximately 233 km (145 miles) away.Around 75 per cent of Serie A clubs are situated in northern Italy – Roma, Lazio, Napoli, Lecce and Cagliari are the exceptions.Pozzo has therefore revealed that they are eyeing improvement to transportation options amid their remote location in Italian football.“One of the things we are working on is mobility because this is quite an issue for us,” she explained.“You have seen we are from Udine, so it’s not so straightforward even for the players travelling to other cities. Normally they always have to take the plane. “So this is one important issue we want to really look at. But we need not only our activity but all the stakeholders’ activity, Italian infrastructure, the region infrastructure. So it’s a more complicated issue.Teams face long journeys to and from UdineWikipediaUdinese are looking to work on fixing mobility issues for supportersGetty“But in general we would like to give this, and hopefully we are going to have a game before the end of the year, the end of the season, that will be the last game to give this important message about mobility for our supporters. “So to use all, or share means of transport, or bicycle, or whatever. So mobility is going to be one of the major aspects of the sustainability. And then to keep on developing, for instance we have this 20,000 square metre that we want to develop in the stadium. “And one of the most important points is that we want to develop it with all the activities related with sustainability.”
