Show Racism the Red Card in Wales

The latest update from Wales

03 May 2007

The Last few weeks has seen the campaign in Wales gaining support from other areas in sport. Boxing star Amir Khan took time out prior to his fight in Cardiff to meet up with the Wales Co-ordinator Sunil Patel along with Committee member Sanjiv Verdi at the Hilton Hotel.

Amir is a keen follower of the campaign and had previously attended a Show Racism the Red Card event at the Reebok stadium, the home of Bolton Wanderers FC.

Wales women’s under 19 squad showed their support during a recent match against Poland, the players all warmed up with ‘Show Racism the Red Card’ t-shirts, they also had a team photo taken holding up our red cards.

We also arranged 10,000 posters to be printed of the Wales football squad with players holding up our red cards, these posters will be distributed throughout Wales.

Our annual schools competition winners ceremony took place at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff with special guest Nigel Walker handing out the prizes. The prizes included match tickets, signed footballs and an opportunity to meet the Wales football squad in the coming months ahead.
