Cardiff (Welsh - Caerdydd) is the capital and largest city in Wales and the tenth largest city in the United Kingdom. Cardiff was made a city in 1905, and proclaimed the capital of Wales in 1955, by a written reply by the Home Secretary Gwilym Lloyd George. The city was awarded with the European City of Sport in 2009 due to its role in hosting major international sporting events. Again Cardiff was the European City of Sport in 2014. The Millennium Stadium hosted 11 football matches as part of the 2012 Summer Olympics, including the games' opening event and the men's bronze medal match.
