Step right up and behold the colossal tribute to Jess Fishlock, the football aficionado par excellence from Wales. This badass lady has slayed records, championed equality, and uplifted representation - and she's now immortalized on a five-a-side football pitch in Splott, Cardiff!
Some reckon this remarkable mural is the first of its kind in Europe to honor a female footballer, making it a trailblazing testament to women's impact on the grand ol' game. It's a stunner just in time for Wales' groundbreaking entrance into Switzerland for Euro 2025 - a monumental first for the team in their storied history.[1]
