Grassroots sport needs more money to ensure more people are physically active, according to Welsh football's development arm.

Neil Ward, chief executive of the Football Association of Wales (FAW) Trust, said the diminishing sports budget was leading to "unrealistic" expectations.

The Welsh Government said it was "totally committed to making a Wales a more healthy and active nation".

But its funding via Sport Wales has fallen by 14% over the past 7 years.

Mr Ward said the FAW was investing its 拢4m profit from Euro 2016 in infrastructure projects but insisted more money was needed.
