Forest Green Rovers are a unique and pioneering football club based in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire, currently competing in the English National League, the fifth tier of the English football pyramid. The club's full name is Forest Green Rovers Football Club, and they play at The New Lawn, a stadium noted for its organic pitch and eco-friendly facilities. Founded in 1889, the team's colors are green and black. Historically a minor non-league club, Forest Green's story changed dramatically under the ownership of eco-entrepreneur Dale Vince, who transformed them into the world's first vegan and carbon-neutral football club. Their peak era has been the recent past, achieving promotion to the English Football League for the first time in 2017 and spending several seasons in League Two, playing an attractive style of football. After relegation back to the National League, the modern era sees them as one of the division's strongest sides, with a squad built on sustainability principles and a clear ambition for an immediate return to the EFL. The club's culture is defined by its environmental ethos, attracting a global fanbase, while maintaining a passionate local support in Gloucestershire.
