As the Wales football team begins the 100 day countdown to Cymru’s first World Cup game in 64 years, Economy Minister Vaughan Gething has launched a £1.5m fund to promote and celebrate all things Welsh.
The fund will support a range of organisations from culture, arts, sport and media for activities to celebrate Wales in the World Cup.
The World Cup Partner Support Fund is one part of the activity the Welsh Government has planned to maximise the opportunities from Cymru’s participation in the FIFA World Cup in Qatar later this year. Economy Minister, Vaughan Gething, said: “As we reach the 100 day milestone, you can really feel the excitement building in Wales. I can't wait to be part of the Red Wall in Qatar!
“Wales’s participation at global sporting events is one of the most fantastic chances to boost our country’s profile and show the world that Wales is an open, welcoming and ambitious country.
