The Football Association of Wales has become the first national association to join Common Goal, committing at least 1% of ticket sales from World Cup qualifiers to community and environmental projects across the country.

Players, managers and clubs pledge part of their income back into the game and members include Jürgen Klopp, Julian Nagelsmann, Oliver Glasner, Dani Olmo, Vivianne Miedema and Serge Gnabry. Werder Bremen and Sporting Gijón of the Bundesliga and La Liga 2 respectively are among the teams signed up to the organisation.
