A £1 million support fund has been launched ahead of Cymru women's first European championship football appearance later this year.
On Saturday, July 5, the team will make history when they face the Netherlands for their first game at the UEFA Euro 2025 tournament in Switzerland.
The Welsh Government and partner organisations have established the Euro 2025 Partner Support Fund to harness the opportunity to inspire future generations and boost sports participation.
The fund will provide grants to organisations across the culture, arts, sport, and media sectors.
Projects could include opportunities to promote Wales internationally, youth sports engagement, and fan celebration events across Wales, Europe, and the world.
Jack Sargeant, minister for sport, said: "Cymru women’s historic Euro 2025 qualification is a unique opportunity to build upon the growing momentum in women's and girls' football across our nation.
"We’re committing this £1 million to boost participation in sport across our communities and showcase Wales on the international stage.
"By bringing together partners from across multiple sectors, we're taking a collaborative 'Gorau chwarae, cyd chwarae' approach to create a lasting legacy from this tournament.
"This fund will use the invaluable expertise of a range of organisations to support and enhance our already-planned programme of activities, projecting our collective strength as a nation, as a Team Wales that is stronger together."
Noel Mooney, Football Association of Wales' CEO, said: "The historic qualification of Cymru for this summer's Euro 2025 brings huge opportunities, not just for the team but for our nation as a whole.
"With the team putting Wales on the world stage in Switzerland, we have the potential to come together to celebrate, to challenge negative gender stereotypes and to boost participation in football at all levels.
"We want everyone across Cymru to be able to feel a part of this extraordinary moment, no matter where they are, and this fund will help to make that vision a reality."
Initial expressions of interest should be submitted by Friday, March 7.
Final decisions will be announced by Friday, April 18.
