Jack Sargeant announces Welsh Government sponsorship of Team Wales Commonwealth Games kit
The Welsh Government’s Cymru Wales brand will appear on Team Wales kit at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games for the first time, Alyn and Deeside MS Jack Sargeant has announced.
The Cymru Wales logo will feature on the sleeve of podium wear throughout the Games, which take place this summer.
Jack Sargeant MS, who serves as Minister for Sport, said: “The Commonwealth Games embody many of the values we hold dear in Wales – fairness, inclusion and excellence.
“It’s great to announce we are sponsoring the Team Wales kit for the very first time.
“The ‘Cymru Wales’ logo will proudly appear on the sleeve of our athletes’ kits as they no doubt take to the podium in Glasgow for their medals.”
He added: “Sport in Wales is about more than winning medals.
“It’s about creating opportunities, shaping identity and nurturing national pride.
“The Welsh Government is dedicated to promoting sport at all levels, and our partnership with Team Wales demonstrates our resolve to help Welsh athletes excel on the world stage, knowing that an entire nation stands behind them.”
Cymru Wales branding will also feature at Team Wales House in central Glasgow, where events will run throughout the Games period.
A content programme including an athlete storytelling series and a film on Team Wales athletes’ personal journeys will run in the lead-up to and during the Games.
Team Wales CEO Rebecca Edwards-Symmons said: “We are extremely proud to announce our partnership with the Welsh Government in the lead-up to the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
“This collaboration represents a significant milestone for Team Wales, and we are particularly delighted that, for the first time, Cymru Wales will be prominently displayed on our Team Wales leisure wear.”
She added: “We are very much looking forward to working closely with Welsh Government and all our partners throughout the Games at Team Wales House, to ensure that our athletes, staff, and supporters have the best possible environment in which to perform and celebrate Welsh sport on the international stage.”
Athletes across Wales are currently being considered for selection, with the final Team Wales squad to be confirmed in June.
