Cwmbran Celtic FC

Cwmbran Celtic was born in 1924 as the team of Cwmbran's Catholic Young Men's Society, in South Wales, and spent half a century in district and church leagues under the name Cwmbran Catholics before becoming Celtic in 1972. It bought its own clubhouse on Oak Street in 1979, climbed step by step through the Gwent leagues, won the Welsh League Third Division in 2006/07 and in 2019 was a founder member of the Cymru South, the country's second tier. The motto, Fraternitas in Ludus, and the crossed keys on the crest recall the Catholic roots; the green and white recall the other Celtic.

A volunteer-run club with seven teams at the Motazone Arena, it lived through its worst season in 2025/26, one win and relegation to the Ardal SE. It answered the way small clubs do: for 2026/27 it gave all four shirt fronts to independent bands and sends 10% of every sale to Music Venue Trust.
