April 2022- March 2023 was an exciting period
for Street Football Wales seeing growth,
development, and innovation.
Street Football Wales has used this time
effectively to expand geographically to reach
more sociallyexcluded individuals.| Street Football Wales has delivered football inclusion sessions in Swansea, Newport, Cardiff, Tylorstown, Merthyr Tydfil, Treforest, Rhyl and Haverfordwest. Street Football Wales has engaged over 370 people and delivered more than 200 inclusion sessions. Street Football Wales also hosted several tournament events including the first ever tournaments in Haverfordwest and North Wales allowing participants from across Wales to come together to celebrate their mutual love for football. These tournaments have become an invaluable part of the SFW calendar. This year we also played our first every 11 a side matches, a charity match, and a match for Show Racism the Red Card. It was a great opportunity to raise money and awareness, although it gave us the opportunity to introduce our players to a different format of football. Street Football Wales has also been active on the international stage with both Welsh men’s and Women’s squads participating in the “Nations Cup” hosted by our partner Street Soccer Scotland. The Tournament provided the opportunity for 8 male and 8 female participants to represent Wales at the highest level of Street Football against nations from across Europe. Our Bespoke Women’s only project has seen extraordinary growth with 123 of our participants being female. This is largely due to our bespoke women only project and the use of female only coaching session. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
