FAW creates murals to celebrate Cymru women's football team
The Football Association of Wales (FAW) has launched the scheme to celebrate the achievements of the Cymru women's national team.
The murals are part of a campaign celebrating the team's first-ever qualification for a major international tournament, the UEFA Women's EURO 2025.
Created by local artists and installed at schools and football clubs across Wales, each mural honours a player from the squad and the communities that shaped them.
Louise Burgess, FAW Euro 2025 project lead, said: "We want our history-making players to be celebrated and become household names, not just in the football world, but in the places that made them who they are.
"These murals are about the importance of legacy and a celebration of Welsh creativity, culture and community.
"They highlight the power of place and the vital importance of visibility for women in sport and society."
The project is funded by the Welsh Government's Euro 2025 Partner Support Fund.
Murals have begun appearing since late June, with more installations planned throughout the summer.
A headteacher at one of the mural locations, Sarah Jane Jones, said: "Women in sport should be celebrated, and we are proud to be a part of this campaign."
