As the FAW celebrates International Women’s Day, we highlight the stories of women making a difference in Welsh football. Begw is part of the media and marketing team at Cymru Premier side Caernarfon Town. A former player herself, she now focuses on creating a strong club identity off the pitch, managing social media largely through the Welsh language, producing a podcast in Cymraeg. Her work connects fans, celebrates Welsh culture, and breaks barriers in a traditionally male-dominated football environment, including her time covering Caernarfon’s UEFA Conference League matches. Meanwhile, Mared Griffiths is making her mark on the pitch. Hailing from Trawsfynydd, the young forward plays for Sunderland on loan from Manchester United and represents the Welsh national team. Her rise highlights the local talent emerging from North Wales and is inspiring the next generation of female footballers from the area. From media to the pitch, these women are shaping the future of football in Wales. ► Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com//FAWales?sub_... ► X:   / fawales   ► X:   / cymru   ► Facebook:   / fawales   ► Instagram:   / cymru   ► TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/cymru Web: www.faw.cymru #Cymru #Wales #Football #internationalwomensday #Caernarfon
