TFA blurb review

[edit]

Sixteen grounds have hosted the Wales national football team in international association football competitions. The team played its first match in 1876 against Scotland before hosting its first home match the following year at the Racecourse Ground in Wrexham, the world's oldest international football ground still in use. The ground hosted all of Wales' matches until 1890. Matches were held in several parts of the country, including Bangor, Cardiff and Swansea, over the following two decades. Ninian Park in Cardiff hosted its first international in 1911, and Vetch Field in Swansea hosted its first in 1921; they shared Wales' home matches with the Racecourse for nearly a century. In 1989 the team began playing at the National Stadium in Cardiff, and in 2000 the Millennium Stadium became the team's new home ground. After a gradual drop in attendance, Cardiff City Stadium was designated Wales' permanent home venue. The Racecourse has held more matches (94) than any other venue. (Full article...)

Just a suggested blurb ... thoughts and edits are welcome. I did this quickly and there may be mistakes, but I'll post it anyway and come back to it tomorrow. - Dank (push to talk) 21:08, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
