A Spanish and Italian graduate from Cardiff University aims to launch a campaign against racism in Spain after getting some of the country's biggest names involved.
Dan Tennant-Ralphs thought up the "One Game for All, Without Racism" campaign while studying for his degree.
The graduate, who had already managed to get the Sevilla football team to pose with a banner he designed, travelled to Galicia, northern Spain, during the summer, where the Spanish national team were due to play a World Cup qualifying match.
Mr Ralphs said: "The local paper published the details of the hotel they were staying in and I was lucky to get in and get people like Fernando Torres, Cesc Fabregas and Xabi Alonso to pose with the banner."
Now, he hopes to get the Spanish Football Association involved after getting his phrase, "Un juego para todos, sin racismo", emblazoned on banners and T-shirts.
He said: "The dream is to have a week of action where players wear T-shirts with my slogan on it and hold the cards up before games."
The campaign would mirror the "Kick It Out" campaign adopted by the English FA.
