Sofie Junge Pedersen: Why I’ve joined the Fossil Free Declaration

Sofie Junge Pedersen has built a career defined by purpose as much as performance. A midfielder with experience at Juventus, Inter Milan and for the Danish national team, she’s earned a reputation for intelligence, leadership and depth — a player who thinks about the bigger picture, both on and off the field.

That perspective now extends far beyond football. Sofie has become an outspoken advocate for climate action, using her platform to highlight the game’s environmental impact and the responsibility players have to drive change.

In conversation with Cool Down about joining the Fossil Free Declaration, she reflects on the power of sport to influence society and why saying no to fossil fuel sponsorship is part of protecting football’s future.
