Gŵyl Wal Goch Festival

Football fans watching Wales at Cardiff City Stadium with the Wal Goch Festival and Grow Social Capital logos also featured

Grow Social Capital are proud to be supporters of the Gŵyl Wal Goch Festival in Wrexham.

At each festival we host challenging discussions and workshops about building more inclusive fan cultures.

Tribalism and rivalries are part and parcel of the game. But they do not mean we should be blind to the opportunities that the global game affords for building solidarities, sharing our own particular cultures with fans of other clubs and countries, and from using football to learn about the world and other communities.

Read more about our concept of Inclusive Tribalism here and one of our favourite stories about Millwall FC fan Roy Larner.
