Wales' Euro 2025 campaign has been and gone. Rhian Wilkinson's side suffered defeats in each of their Group D matches against the Netherlands, France and England. However, qualification alone for the summer showpiece in Switzerland represented huge progress for the Welsh women.

Wales coach Rhian Wilkinson issued a passionate plea for more sports opportunities for girls and women after their 6-1 thrashing by England on Sunday laid bare the vast difference in experience and opportunities between the neighbouring nations.

“We’re Wales,” says Michele Adams, one of the three women who successfully lobbied the Football Association of Wales (FAW) in 1992 to formally recognise a national women’s team, more than 20 years after the near 50-year ban on women’s football was lifted in the country.

Wales goalkeeping great Wayne Hennessey has retired from playing. The 38-year-old's career lasted almost two decades, during which he played 109 times for Wales - a national record in his position - and was part of the side that reached the semi-finals of Euro 2016.
