Football has been confirmed as the #1 sport in Wales following the publication of an independent report




Football has been confirmed as the number one sport in Wales following the publication of an independent report by Nielsen, a global leader in audience research.

Football interest has continued to increase since research in Wales was first conducted in 2016. However, for the first time, football is now the number one interest sport in Wales and continues to be the number one participation sport for children and adults.

Nielsen conducted the research in Wales during April 2022 using standard methodologies on behalf of UEFA. The research is conducted every two years and provides an accurate assessment of Welsh football through a nationally representative sample of the 18+ population based on age, gender and region.

The research also shows that interest in the Cymru international teams continues to grow, with a notable increase in Women’s National Team interest that has doubled since 2016.
