Although London will host the vast majority of events at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, Wales' capital of Cardiff will also get in on the action, hosting an exciting programme of football games at the Millennium Stadium. Football is always one of the most popular events at the Olympics, and this year will be especially exciting, with players from Great Britain - usually fierce rivals - joining forces to battle the rest of the world. The Millennium Stadium is renowned as one of the best sports stadia on the planet, and with Cardiff busy making a name for itself as one the hippest city break destinations in Europe, visitors are urged to make Wales a part of their Olympic travel itineraries.

Venue: Millennium Stadium, Cardiff

Date: 27 July to 12 August 2012
