As Cymru’s Women prepare to kick-off in Switzerland this weekend for their Euro 2025 debut, many projects are happening across the country and beyond to celebrate this monumental achievement.
The Welsh Government's £1million Euro 2025 Partner Support Fund is supporting 16 organisations to host a range of events, creative projects and learning resources to highlight Welsh talent, whilst building a legacy that will inspire future generations and promote greater participation in sport and culture.
Three flagship projects are bringing this celebration to life:
- Literature Wales has commissioned acclaimed poet Sarah McCreadie to document Cymru's Euro journey with fourteen original poems. Sarah, who will travel with the team to Switzerland, brings both her passion for football and poetry to the role.
- A powerful new film by director Aaliyah MacKay celebrates Eleeza and Rosheen Khan, Wales’ first female Muslim referees and coaches. The sisters, who describe themselves as 'football activists', are breaking barriers in the game and inspiring women from all communities.
- A landmark pitch-sized mural of Jess Fishlock has transformed Splott Football Park in Cardiff, making history as the first full-size pitch mural dedicated to a female footballer in Europe. Created by Welsh artist Regan Gilflin and Cardiff studio UNIFY, the artwork celebrates Fishlock's legacy as Cymru’s most capped footballer.
