The Euro 2025 campaign will be their first at a major tournament finals.
Rhiannon Roberts, a 77-cap Wales defender, expressed pride in the nation’s progress in women’s football ahead of their historic appearance at the 2024 Women’s Euros in Switzerland. The team, managed by full-time head coaches since 2010, has seen significant growth since gaining official recognition by the Football Association of Wales in 1993. Roberts highlighted the slogan “For us, for them, for her,” emphasizing gratitude for past pioneers, appreciation for their current position, and a commitment to paving the way for future players. The team’s recent near-misses in World Cup qualification and their emotional Euro qualifying success underscore their determination. Roberts, who made her Wales debut in 2015, reflected on her childhood, when the women’s team was barely visible, and her personal journey, including her viral wedding goal in 2022. The Wales squad, facing strong opponents in Group D, aims to inspire and leave a legacy for future generations.
