Grassroots football projects in Wales will receive a further 拢12.6m funding from the UK government to improve facilities.

The latest 拢12.6m investment programme will be delivered by the Football Association of Wales on behalf of the UK government.

It is part of a 拢230m investment in football facilities across the UK.

Seventeen grassroots football projects in Wales received a share of 拢1.3m in March 2022.

Secretary of State for Wales David TC Davies said the latest investment would help "recipient clubs and groups continue their fantastic work".

He added: "Grassroots football is at the heart of communities throughout Wales, providing sporting opportunities for children and adults but also bringing significant health and social benefits."
