UNSUNG heroes from across Wales will be recognised for their contribution to grassroots football at an awards ceremony in Cardiff today.
Current and former Welsh internationals, including record goal scorer Helen Ward and Danny Gabbidon, will be present at the event at Cardiff City Stadium.
It takes place ahead of Wales’ European Championship qualifier against Croatia.

- Community Club of the Year
- Community Coach of the Year
- Outstanding Achievement Award
- Grassroots Project of the Year
