Football fans will have the chance to get their hands on the Champions League Trophy, when it comes to Welshpool and Newtown.

The Champions League final comes to Wales in June, at the Cardiff City Stadium and ahead of that, former Wales striker Ian Rush headed to Switzerland to pick up the trophy. He will now take it around the country.

On Wednesday May 3, it will enter Powys with a visit to Welshpool High School. Then on Saturday May 6, between 9am and 11am, a session open to the public will take place at Latham Park, where there will be photo opportunities.

The trophy will then leave and head to Brecon Leisure Centre later on the day.

Gwyn Derfel, Secretary of the WPL said: "It is great that the eyes of the footballing world will be on our country, and our National League clubs between now and the UFA Final on June 3."
