A Plaid Cymru government will fully recognise and harness the role of sport – from local clubs through to the elite and international level – in sustainable economic growth and building our confidence and profile as a nation. We will work with key partners including Sport Wales and national sports organisations to identify and support opportunities for development.
We will provide strategic and long-term support to national governing bodies to attract and host international events in Wales – engaging more people of all ages in the enjoyment of sport and offering opportunities to promote Wales as a world-class travel and cultural destination.
We will also ensure that effective legacy plans are developed when Wales hosts events such as the Tour de France and Euro 28, or when our national teams qualify for international competitions.
Plaid Cymru believes that sporting events of national importance to Wales, such as the Rugby Six Nations, should remain free-to-air on television.
