Forest Green Rovers are the greenest football club on the planet, according to FIFA. Located in Nailsworth in the west of England, the team was playing in one of the UK’s lower leagues when green energy industrialist Dale Vince took over.
On this episode of Bloomberg’s “Business of Sports,” we show how Vince moved to remake the club in his own image.
