FAW Statement: Rainbow Wall Bucket Hats

On Monday (21 November) Cymru returned to the FIFA World Cup for the first time in 64 years, an historic moment for the squad, the valued fans – The Red Wall / Y Wal Goch – and the nation. 

However, the Football Association of Wales (FAW) were extremely disappointed by reports that members of Y Wal Goch, which included FAW staff members, were asked to remove and discard their Rainbow Wall bucket hats before entry to the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium. These bucket hats were created in partnership with the FAW. 

The FAW has collated information on these alleged incidents and will be addressing this matter directly with FIFA today (22 November). 

The FAW will not be releasing any further comment at this stage.
