Sponsorship and Partners

“In 2012/13, Sport Wales awarded a Development Grant of £50,000 to establish a ball sport hall at Cardiff City House of Sport Ltd based in Leckwith, Cardiff.

House of Sport, although linked to Cardiff City FC, is intended to engage with several sports, not just football, to also include basketball, futsal, netball, korfball, wheelchair rugby and wheelchair basketball to name a few. The project overall has been a huge success with increased participation in all sports catered for and a particular increase in basketball and women’s football. The project also has good engagement with BME groups and continues to go from strength to strength.

Cardiff City House of Sport Ltd presented a considered and inclusive approach to the project which allowed greater participation in a range of sports whilst also engaging groups from the community who previously wouldn’t have had the opportunity to use facilities such as this.

House of Sport has clearly demonstrated its ability to plan, produce and deliver on proposed project outcomes and outputs.”

“Cardiff City House of Sport is a fantastic venue and has been very important in the growth of futsal. It possess’ great facilities, a high quality playing surface and is a great indoor environment for players and spectators to enjoy. It has hosted events from grassroots to UEFA competitions and will be an important venue in the development of the game for years to come.”

“I have great pleasure in recommending Cardiff City House of Sport.

The Wales Veterans Football representative teams have found the facility ideal for our get togethers before international matches. The staff are very friendly and helpful and because of the excellent surface we have been able to prepare our teams to meet the high standard expected of them.

We would certainly hope to make full use of the facility in future.”

“The plethora of sports facilities that I’ve used over the years has left me with little or no confidence in the industry. However, Business Development Manager, Joanna Borley of House of Sport, has restored my confidence with the ability to provide a proactive, reliable, and friendly service committed to offering professional and state of the art facilities for a vast range of sporting events.”

“We were struggling last winter with so many games called off due to the weather and with even our astroturf training facility unplayable at times, we were delighted to be able to use House of Sport where they gave us a great welcome and the facilities are superb – way beyond anything the players had been used to previously. It made such a difference to the players & management to be training on a Football League quality surface, that we took a block booking that everyone is convinced was a big factor in the winning run which propelled us back into the promotion race.”
