He and Jenkins head up the Dragons23 consortium backing the club.

Cardiff City Ladies play in the third tier of the women's football pyramid in England and are not to be confused with Welsh domestic League and cup champions Cardiff City Women, who are affiliated with the men's Championship club.

"Living in Australia, I've been blessed to witness first-hand the transformative power of women's football," said Singh.

"The recent Women's World Cup was not just a tournament; it was a catalyst for dreams and aspirations for young girls globally.

"As a father of two daughters, the joy of watching them visualise themselves on that world stage is indescribable.

"I've always been captivated by the fervour and passion for football that resonates deeply within the Welsh community.

It's a burgeoning area of the game and investment can make serious in roads into the upper tiers of the game.

Wait until Cardiff Ladies get to the the Premier League and it becomes noticed that Cardiff could have representation in Europe from TWO different football associations.

The English club fans will go ballistic.
