The friendships between Welsh and Polish communities will be celebrated in the form of football history with a display at Wrexham Museum.

For over 75 years Wrexham has been home to Welsh and Polish communities who share a love of football.

To celebrate the solidarity and friendship between these communities, Wrexham Museum will be unveiling a display of Welsh and Polish football memorabilia and serving Welsh and Polish food in the Museum Café on Saturday, September 24.

The event, which will be held between 12pm till 2pm, also includes a free arts and crafts session, where children can enjoy creating images of Eagles and Dragons, the beloved symbols of the Welsh and Polish national football badges.

A selection of these images will be added to the football display at the end of the day, and shared on social media to celebrate the next generation of Welsh and Polish fans enjoying football together in friendship.

The timing of the event will also coincide with Wales’ game against Poland in their UEFA Nations League match in Cardiff that evening.

Cllr Paul Roberts, lead member for partnerships and community safety said: “Football has an extraordinary power to unite and bring people together, so what better way to celebrate the historic friendship between Wrexham’s Polish and Welsh communities than to share our love of the sport and its history for our two nations.

“I hope plenty of families and fans of both nations will come and enjoy this event at Wrexham Museum. I would also highly recommend taking a look at the new ‘Shirt Stories’ football exhibition, recently opened at the museum.”

The new football museum will celebrate Welsh football, past and present, in all its diversity, from grassroots clubs to the national teams, as well as highlighting Wrexham’s historic achievements in the sport and celebrating the rich heritage of the county borough.
