World Cup

Young people are calling time on Big Soda’s grip on sport.

We’re tackling junk food ads, one space at a time.

Instead, Big Soda uses the world's biggest sporting stages to market products that harm children's health and flood the planet with plastic.

From stadium sponsorships to our favourite kits, young people are constantly being targeted.

We’re Bite Back. And we’re showing giants our teeth.

This summer, we’re joining a global movement calling on FIFA to put young people's health first.

Your donation helps young activists campaign, organise, investigate and create change.

Sports is a platform for us to unite. To enjoy a sport and a healthy lifestyle. Sports are good for your health and they make you fit. But the foods that are advertised don’t do this. It is a betrayal to the fans! There is so much irony; the foods that they promote are unhealthy

What is sportswashing?

Big Soda is turning the world's biggest game into one giant advert. By sponsoring major sporting events, brands associate sugary drinks with fitness, success and healthy lifestyles. It's a tactic known as sportswashing, using sport's positive image to make unhealthy products seem healthier than they really are.

Real Stories. Real Change.

Before you tap, know this: these stories matter.

Football is for the fans, not the brands.
