Cardiff City FC Community Foundation wins Best Social Impact Initiative Award
Bluebirds Charity has been recognised for Social Impact at the 2025 WSA Sports Industry Awards, highlighting its £33.4m impact and life-changing work across South Wales.
Last week, Cardiff City FC Community Foundation warmly welcomed a new cohort of Further and Higher Education students to Cardiff City House of Sport.
Our sport education courses are designed to cater to various abilities and career pathways, allowing young people to further their passion for sports and learning.
With the support of
dedicated tutors, mentoring, and the ability to arrange relevant work
experience in the sports industry, we aim to help young people gain
qualifications and industry experience to build a career in football.
Representing Cardiff City FC
The week was filled with enthusiasm as learners engaged in both classroom and on-pitch activities. Icebreaker exercises also helped students connect with each other. During the induction, students received official Cardiff City FC Community Foundation kits, proudly representing the Cardiff City FC badge.

Students showcased their abilities in a friendly in-house futsal tournament, making full use of the three modern Futsal courts at the facility. These courts are also where some students have the opportunity to represent Cardiff City FC in the Association of Colleges Futsal League and The FAW Futsal League.
A highlight of the induction week was the introduction to futsal, a fast-paced, small-sided football game that hones technical skills under pressure.
We're proud to offer unique BTEC Sport courses, blending the use of theoretical and practical learning, ensuring that each student's journey is tailored to develop essential life skills. The Community Foundation is excited to embark on this journey with the new students and help them develop game changing life skills that will set them up for success.
For those still undecided about their next steps after receiving their results, we offer a chance to gain industry-leading experience right on Cardiff City FC's doorstep. There are still places available in our Level 2 & 3 courses.
