The Football Association of Wales is proud to reaffirm its commitment to clean sport by backing UK Anti-Doping’s (UKAD’s) Clean Sport Week campaign.
Clean Sport Week is UKAD’s national awareness week championing clean sport, education, and anti-doping initiatives with sports across the UK. This year’s Clean Sport Week takes place between 13 – 17 May 2024.
Throughout the week, UKAD will be showcasing the importance of the clean sport journey through the lens of athletes and the elite sport community. Anti-doping should be a key part of every athlete and support personnel’s journey.
Clean sport is an essential part of all players’ journeys. It takes a lifetime of work, commitment, and a network of support to help athletes perform at the very top. Creating a culture of clean sport is essential for the health and welfare of players and the integrity of football in Wales.
With Mental Health Awareness Week running alongside Clean Sport Week this year, UKAD will also be providing advice for athletes on how to look after both their physical and mental wellbeing.
For those in the sporting community that would like to learn more about anti-doping sign up to UKAD’s Clean Sport Hub where there are free education courses for athletes, students, coaches and practitioners.
