This is happening in the Swedish city of Malmö and the project is spearheaded by a group from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, in collaboration with companies, the team Malmö FF and the city of Malmö. From the article (this is more of an add from one of the companies involved than an article, but the only thing I could find in English):
”Each year, the fertilizer industry releases more than 1.3 billion tonnes of CO₂e globally. That’s 23% more than the entire aviation industry!

Oatly, Malmö FF, Sanitation 360, Malmö Stad and VA Syd collect urine from supporters at Eleda Stadium.
The urine is dried and together with by-products from Oatly’s oat drink production, transformed into fertilizer pellets with a lower environmental impact.
If everything goes according to plan, together we can show the world how nutrient rich and valuable ordinary urine can be as a circular fertilizer resource. We can reduce our dependence on synthetic fertilizer and become more self-sufficient. And we can reduce eutrophication in our lakes, seas, and waterways.”
