The US rapper 50 Cent has sponsored an under-14s girls’ football team in Cardiff, joining the growing list of stars supporting Welsh teams.

The musician has become a backer of the under-14 girls’ team at AFC Rumney in Cardiff. It is reported that the father of one of the players worked with the rapper on a tour and when the question of sponsorship was raised, he agreed.
