Wales' last industrial town | FORGED: Football in Steeltown

Port Talbot Steelworks is one of the largest steel plants in Europe. It currently employs 4,000 people in the local area. In January 2024, Tata Steel announced that around half of those jobs will be lost.

However, Port Talbot's thriving football scene is stepping up to make sure they can offer help, solace and an escape to those in their communities who need it most.
