The details came with the launch of Wales’ first Major Events Strategy yesterday. The Strategy will build on opportunities arising from golf's Ryder Cup held in Newport, which begins today, to create Wales' first co-ordinated and systematic approach to delivering and hosting future major events.
“Wales is now delivering the Ryder Cup on behalf of a continent and going forward we will work with Welsh, UK and International federations to realise the huge untapped potential that remains in other sporting events as well as in artistic and cultural genres,” he said. “We believe that we can very much hold the Champions League final in Wales.”
Wales’ Millennium Stadium hosted six FA Cup finals between 2001 and 2006 and will host Olympic football as part of the 2012 London Games.
