Anglesey It is an island united to Great Britain on a suspension bridge on the NCR5 highway crossing the Strait of Menaito the north of Welsh.

the five ‘l’s’
In an initiative that we can evaluate as completely unique, the prevalence of ‘eles’ in the name of the population, led to LaLigathe establishment that governs the first football division of Spainto sponsor the front of the shirt with its logo from the 2023-24 season. Now, that the club has turned 125 years old, they have changed the shield, they have redesigned the shirt with the brand Cougar (which only sold 125 shoes for fans who wanted to buy them) and continue to sponsor the two ‘L’s’. Obviously, no one spends five minutes of their life saying the full name of the club (Clwb Pêl Droed Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch), but they shortened it to CPD Llanfairpwll (Clwb Pêl Droed Llanfairpwll) or, in its English version, by CPD Llanfairpwll FC.
