History

The group organised its first march for an international game against the Danish men's national team in November 2018, with around 100 people attending.[4] The marches had grown to a size of several hundred by the start of the Welsh men's national team's qualification campaign for the UEFA Men's Euros 2020.[5]

The group has cooperated with other Welsh independence groups and with independence groups in Scotland.[6][7]
