Wales had come close to qualifying in the previous three major tournaments. With one of the best players of recent times in their ranks, and the experience of nearly getting there, this time Wales have finally made it to a finals. For the women’s game in Wales, the European Championships this summer in Switzerland represent a great chance for it to grow. Just like the success of near neighbours and rivals England has led to the significant growth of the women’s game the other side of Offa’s Dyke, Wales could do the same in the coming years.
If you already love women’s football, or you’re looking to get into it a bit more, our Women’s Euros predictor game is a great way to enjoy the beautiful game and build some fun competition into your workplace in June and July 25!
Wales Road to the Euros
It was an impressive qualifying campaign from Cymru women in Group B4. Four wins and two draws from the six games gave them promotion to League A of the Nations League and a playoff place for the Euros. Impressive wins against Croatia and Kosovo, and two draws against Ukraine paved the way for a good run at an international tournament in a way that felt truly accessible for the first time. Head coach Rhian Wilkinson has changed the mindset and the culture since she took over from Gemma Grainger in 2024. An impressive, unbeaten first campaign has set a precedent for future teams to compete at the highest level.
The playoffs were incredibly special. A 3-2 aggregate win after extra time over Slovakia across two tense matches was followed by two matches against local rivals Republic of Ireland. The first match in Cardiff finished 1-1, with the return leg in Dublin a few days later promising to be another nervy affair. Wales took a two-goal lead into the second half with goals from Cain and Jones, but a late goal from Ireland made for a few jangly nerves as 90 minutes approached. The team held on though, and a place in the group stage awaits in Switzerland.
Chances for Wales at the Euros
It’s been a tough 2025 so far for Wales, drawing two games against Sweden and losing four games in the Nations League group against Italy and Denmark to face relegation back to League B next time round. It might not look like the best preparation for their European Championships, but the team has been competitive in all but the last game against Italy (a 1-4 defeat in Swansea), losing each game by only one goal. It demonstrates that on their day, Wales can compete and there is something to build on.
Wales have been put in probably the toughest group on paper this summer. Games against the Netherlands, France, and England represent a true test of character, but there’s a lot to be positive about. Jess Fishlock is arguably in the top tier of Welsh sportspeople of all time, and at 38 can still do incredible things (see her goal from long range against Italy in the recent defeat), and with Sophie Ingle back from an ACL injury and hoping to make the squad, there is experience and quality sprinkled throughout a hardworking set of players.
