The Football Association of Wales (FAW) has further enhanced its player recovery facilities with the installation of a Team CryoSpa Pro unit, supplied by cold water therapy specialists CET CryoSpas, at its headquarters within The Vale Resort in the Vale of Glamorgan.

The FAW first partnered with CET in 2019, introducing cold water therapy at its Colliers Park training facility in Wrexham. Since then, the organisation has continued to invest in its performance infrastructure to support players competing at the highest level of international football.

As part of its ongoing development, the FAW’s headquarters at The Vale Resort underwent a £3 million expansion in 2025, significantly upgrading the facilities available for elite training and preparation. The installation of the Team CryoSpa Pro unit forms a key part of this enhancement, providing advanced cold water immersion capabilities for players from both male and female teams.

The installation comes at an important time for the FAW, offering additional recovery resources to support athlete preparation ahead of upcoming World Cup qualifiers at the end of March. Designed specifically for high-performance sport, the Team CryoSpa Pro enables consistent temperature control, optimal immersion depth and efficient use by multiple athletes, supporting effective recovery protocols during demanding training and competition schedules.

CET worked closely with the FAW and The Vale Resort team to ensure the installation integrated seamlessly into the upgraded facility, meeting the practical demands of elite sport while maintaining ease of use for players and staff.

Adrian Worsley, managing director at CET CryoSpas, said: "We’re proud to continue our partnership with the Football Association of Wales as they invest in world-class facilities. Cold water immersion is a vital part of modern recovery strategies, and the Team CryoSpa Pro is designed to deliver consistent, high-quality ice bath experiences that elite athletes can rely on, particularly during key competitive periods such as World Cup qualification."

CET CryoSpas is widely recognised as the market leader in ice bath solutions for elite sport, with its systems used by top-level athletes and organisations across more than 60 countries. Working across football, cricket, basketball and other high-performance disciplines, CET continues to set the standard for professional-grade cold water immersion, delivering reliable, high-quality recovery experiences trusted at the very highest level of sport.
