Part of 2. Questions to the Minister for International Relations and Welsh Language – in the Senedd at 3:08 pm on 8 January 2020.
Thank you very much for that comment. I can assure you that I will be discussing this issue specifically with the Football Association of Wales and with Sport Wales in order to see how we can particularly develop the community aspects related to this, because one of the successes that emerges from the high profile of international teams, in rugby and in other sports too—and in this particular case it's football, of course—is that community football and interest in football can develop and increase. I can assure you that that will be on the agenda for discussion, so that Welsh Government funding for the football association and Sport Wales will also have an impact on community interest, and will excite further community interest, including in women's football, which is a development that I've particularly enjoyed during my period as Minister.
