XYLEM End of Football

According to the UK Environmental Agency, we are just one generation away from water scarcity touching every aspect of our lives. To encourage football fans to engage with such a challenging topic, we wanted to create an emotional film, incorporating all the reasons why fans love the game, such as the pre-match rituals, the noise of the crowd, and the bonds football create in families.
The final product is ‘The End of Football’, which tells the emotional story of one girl’s life as a Manchester City fan, and how, in years to come, she will be unable to pass on her family’s footballing traditions if our complacency around water usage continues.
The opening image features an aged Phil Foden as City’s manager on the final game City will play next to a dry and cracked Etihad pitch, creating a shocking warning that we all need to act now to ‘save our future, and the game we love’. The film reached 8.4 million people on social platforms, with 1.9 million views and more than 200,000 positive engagements such as shares.

The specially painted airplane has been flying in and out of destinations including Manchester, Jordan, Spain, Indonesia and China.
