Over the last ten years Welsh football has experienced a revolution. On the pitch, they started the decade ranked 117th in the world, the lowest point in their history. Yet by 2015 they had even surpassed England to reach a high of 8th. A Euros Semi final followed and Wales find now themselves in the fight for a first World Cup spot since 1958.
However, off the pitch is where you’ll find the real story. The fans, inspired by their team, have created a special culture as their under threat language is given a space to thrive. Directed by @gregcaine93 ‘Independent Football Nation’ tells the story of how following Welsh football, particularly on away trips, has become the quintessential expression of a modern, bilingual Welsh identity. This is COPA90 stories in its purest form.
