Saturday’s game against Leeds United will see tributes to our former legendary player, Sol Bamba, who passed away suddenly recently at the age of just 39.
Fans and the club are encouraging everyone to wear blue as a mark of respect to Sol, who was a fantastic ambassador for football and a wonderful human being. The Trust is encouraging everyone to Wear Blue For Bamba.
A total of £4,547 was raised by fan groups and supporters generally for a huge flag for Sol. The flag will be held up in the Canton Stand before the game and then passed to the Ninian Stand by ground staff.
Apart from a minute’s silence, there will also be a round of applause in the 14th minute. Sol wore the Number 14 shirt while at Cardiff City.
The official matchday programme will also take a break from its 2024-25 retro covers and produce a special edition in memory of Sol and his impact on the club.
Former manager Neil Warnock and former players will be attending the match against Leeds, who Sol also played for.
