Football has been part of Welsh life for generations. The Football Association of Wales, formed in 1876, is one of the oldest national football bodies in the world. This design shows the map of Wales as a cheerful cartoon footballer, bucket hat in place, ball at its feet, about to cut inside and curl one into the top corner before heading into the Canton Stand. The illustration uses a retro mascot style, with bold outlines and simple shapes that echo classic cartoon characters. A bright cartoon design that places Wales at the centre of the play.
