About
The relatively young North Road Phoenix, now Dublin Phoenix in the international context of the KIT LEAGUE, have risen above the controversy surrounding their inception - and particularly the building of their modest stadium on the periphery of the Irish capital’s major green space - and hindsight delivers appreciation of the club as pioneers of sustainability, celebrating their home and furthering ecological regeneration.
Along with occasional glory attained on the field of play, the club’s administration has consistently been keen to deliver strong messaging on climate change and social responsibility, with a goal of considering the ethical implications of every decision taken.
Consequently, the club has seen their fan base grow around the world, becoming many people’s second favorite side, and enabling the global sales of merchandise with a proportion of all revenue being put towards environment-focussed projects. Any associated increased retail prices and slower delivery of replica shirts have so far not put off admirers.
