Ian Rush and Neville Southall are just a few of the star names who will be at the Wal Goch Festival this November in Wrexham.
The former Welsh stars will be attending the event ahead of Wales' first World Cup in 64 years.
The festival, aimed at celebrating football culture at the 'spiritual home' of Welsh football is set to take place between November 11 and 13.
There will be film premieres, gigs, and panels spanning three days, celebrating all things footie and connecting communities through the game we all love.

There will also be live streams from squad Cymru HQ with Manager, Rob Page and special guests.
Further announcements about the details of the weekend are set to be released over the coming days.
Festival organiser, Tim Hartley said: "Our aim is to create a showcase for all that is best about football and its fan culture and demonstrate how it can be a force for social good.
"With football being embedded in the history and culture of the city, bringing the festival to Wrexham was an easy decision. We are delighted to have had the support of FAW to kick start the festival and we’re looking forward to working with the University, Wrexham Council and Wrexham AFC to make this an event to remember."

The full lineup of established and upcoming bands and artists, is set to be announced in the next few days.
Charity partners MIND Cymru will be leading workshops and panels on the way that football can be used to engage with individuals to prompt conversations on issues often seen as taboo.
