The 64-year wait is over. Wales is playing on the biggest stage in international football - and here I am in Qatar with my son and partner Elin for the World Cup.
We all know of the robust debate in Wales about whether fans, politicians or even our players should in Qatar. Some good friends of mine travel to all Wales away games but, as members of the LGBTQ+ community, feel they can’t go to Qatar, for their own safety and in solidarity with members of their community oppressed there. My heart goes out to them.
The debate around Qatar’s human rights record is necessary, and it is right for our leaders to have been challenged relentlessly to progress change. But I believe that the players, teams, and fans have and will be able to promote positive change by going to Qatar.
