Created by Ogi and filmed at Cardiff Arms Park, the series brings together players from Glamorgan Cricket, Cardiff City FC and Cardiff Rugby for a day of sporting challenges, competitive spirit and good humour.

Representing Glamorgan Cricket are Callum Nicholls and Gemma Porter, alongside Cardiff City FC’s Matthew Turner and Harry Tyrer, and Cardiff Rugby’s Johan Mulder and Le Roux Malan.

The collaboration brings together two members of the FinTech Wales community, showcasing Ogi’s support for Welsh sport and the organisations that help the capital thrive.

Bringing Cardiff’s Sporting Community Together

Headquartered on St Mary Street, a short walk from Cardiff Arms Park, Ogi developed the series as part of its wider Big Welsh Switch campaign, which highlights how simple switching broadband provider can be.

Martyn Bicknell, Partnerships Manager at Ogi, said:

“Cardiff has something not many cities can match. Within a few minutes of the city centre you’ve got incredible sporting venues, great businesses and a real sense of community. The Big Welsh Switch was our way of bringing together three brilliant Welsh teams in one of Cardiff’s most iconic locations. It was a lot of fun to make, but it also reflects what Ogi is about: celebrating Wales, backing local communities and showing that making a switch can be much easier than people think.”

Alongside its community partnerships, Ogi provides full fibre broadband, managed wifi, cyber security and connectivity services to businesses across the UK, backed by local support teams in Cardiff.
