Epic murals of Wales's football heroes are appearing across the country as the countdown to the 2022 Qatar World Cup draws ever closer. Gareth Bale, Harry Wilson, Joe Allen, Joe Rodon and Rhys Norrington-Davies have all been immortalised on buildings around areas of the country where they have special links.
The project is being delivered by Mentrau Iaith Cymru, a national organisation that supports a network of 22 local Welsh language initiatives, Mentrau Iaith, across Wales. It supports the Mentrau Iaith network in a variety of ways, such as marketing and communications, training and lobbying for the protection and growth of the Welsh language.
As part of its football World Cup project, it has commissioned murals to be painted of some of the nation's top footballers across various Welsh buildings ahead of the illustrious tournament, which kicks off on November 20. Wales will take on USA, England and Iran in the group stage, where they hope they will gain enough points to advance to the knockout stages. Get stories straight to your inbox with our newsletter.
