Colwyn Bay FC players Issa and Uniss Kargbo helped launch a new community partnership with the Welsh Mountain Zoo this week. The twins visited the zoo during its popular Dinosaur Experience, posing for photos and chatting with local families, as reported by the North Wales Pioneer.
The club's foundation has teamed up with the zoo to create education projects, fundraising events, and unique experiences for children and families across North Wales. This initiative aims to build stronger community links through promotional campaigns and networking opportunities.
Who are the Kargbo twins?
Issa Kargbo and Uniss Kargbo are twin brothers who joined Colwyn Bay FC in 2025. They developed their skills at the Cork City Academy before moving to Wales. Their involvement in the zoo visit highlights the club's commitment to using its players as positive role models in the community. Both players engaged directly with visitors during the special event.
What happened at the zoo event?
The visit coincided with the Welsh Mountain Zoo's Dinosaur Experience, which ran from August 19 to August 26. The event was included with standard zoo admission and featured Dino Rangers, surprise encounters, and a large Velociraptor model. The zoo itself is home to more than 60 different animal species. The Kargbo twins explored the attractions and participated in the day's activities alongside fans and zoo guests.
