Tuesday night's match against Watford is Cardiff City’s designated Play Safe fixture, as the Club backs the FA-led national safeguarding campaign.
For the Play Safe campaign, football across the country joins forces to promote awareness of the importance of safeguarding across the game we all love.
Play Safe 2026 is asking every adult in football to make more opportunities for conversations with children and young people. not just about football; about life, emotions, anything that’s important to them.
It’s about checking in on each other, on and off the pitch, on the sidelines, on the way home, at pick-up and drop-off. Players, parents, coaches, volunteers, match officials. keeping up the convo can be as simple as keepie uppies (without the fancy footwork).
The more we talk, the more we listen, the more we respond. The more children and young people feel heard and the more likely they are to tell us how things are going. Then they are more likely to tell us things which we can help them with.
Once again Play Safe is endorsed by leading children’s charity the NSPCC and will see a huge range of activity across the nation, fuelled by the encouragement and resources The FA provides.
