GLOBE Cup Challenge
During the World Cup, from 11 June to 19 July, join the GLOBE Program in collecting environmental data where the world plays soccer (football)!
Go to your local soccer (football) field, park, schoolyard, or anywhere people play, and take observations:
- Air temperature
- Surface temperature
- Land cover
Whether you play soccer (football), cheer from the sidelines, coach a team, or simply live near a field, you can help investigate the environment where soccer (football) is played in your community. Is the field surrounded by trees, buildings, dirt, or pavement? Is it grass, artificial turf, or another surface? How do temperatures compare from one day to the next — and how does your local field compare to fields around the world? How does your field compare to the surrounding areas?
World Cup athletes will compete on cultivated grass fields in a wide range of environmental conditions. Your observations can help us explore how playing environments differ across regions, climates, and field surfaces.
