FAW x Duke Al (feat. MAK)
The Football Association of Wales (FAW) is proud to announce an exciting collaboration with spoken word poet Duke Al to highlight the importance of male allyship ahead of Cymru’s first UEFA Women’s EURO play-off against Slovakia. Martha Appleby’s poem struck a chord with many in 2021, offering a poignant reflection on the challenges faced by women in football and the sense of being overlooked when the FAW and Literature Wales Poetry competition winner said “I am a girl, I am a footballer, I am invisible”. Responding to Appleby’s poem three years later, Duke Al brings a fresh perspective through his poetry not only by celebrating Cymru’s journey, but also underscoring the importance of male allies in supporting women’s football.
