The Welsh Government has been working with football clubs to tackle obesity and inactivity.

More than 1,500 people have already benefitted from the Welsh Government funded programme.

The 12-week FIT FANS programme is being run at Cardiff City, Newport County, Newtown AFC, Swansea City and Wrexham.

Participants take part in exercise sessions and classes to improve their eating habits.

The programme uses football to help those most at risk of developing serious health conditions.

Chief Medical Officer for Wales Professor Isabel Oliver said: "Using the power of football to engage communities, FIT FANS has helped a remarkable number of people reduce their risk of developing serious conditions like diabetes and heart disease.

"It’s wonderful to see the social connections that have been formed through the programme, creating supportive communities that contribute to both physical and mental wellbeing.

"This programme is about preventing ill health before it starts, taking pressure off our NHS, and helping people live longer, healthier lives."
