Wilkinson names wales squad for nations league matches as huge summer looms

WALES ARE PREPARING FOR A HUGE SUMMER AFTER QUALIFYING FOR THE EUROS FOR THE FIRST TIME 10:00, 20 May 2025 Wales head coach Rhian Wilkinson has named a 26-player squad for the final two

matches of their UEFA Women’s Nations League campaign, their last games before a history-making Euros campaign. Wales are pushing to secure their spot in Nations League A, however they sit

bottom of the group and four points off both Denmark and Italy with two games to go. Wilkinson’s side will travel to Odense to face Denmark on Friday, May 30, before returning home to host

Italy at the Swansea.com Stadium on Tuesday, June 3. Young talents Mared Griffiths and Soffia Kelly have both been called up to the senior squad following impressive performances with the

U19s during the UEFA Round 2 League A qualifiers in south Wales last month, where the side finished second in their group. Goalkeeper Laura O’Sullivan-Jones is unavailable due to an ACL

injury. Article continues below Wales will be hoping to build on a strong showing last time out, having held the fifth-ranked-team in the world, Sweden, to a 1-1 draw in Gothenburg. Their

previous meeting with Denmark ended in a narrow 2-1 loss in Cardiff. This double header is vital for Wilkinson’s side, with the clash against Italy also serving as Wales' final home

match before they make history by appearing in their first-ever major tournament — the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 finals in Switzerland. Article continues below WALES SQUAD IN FULL: Olivia CLARK
