In exactly one week, Lucerne's Swissporarena will play host to Wales women's first ever major tournament fixture.
Rhian Wilkinson has named her 23-player squad for Euro 2025, and the preparations have long been underway for the summer showpiece in Switzerland.
Players are being put through their paces in a week-long training camp in Portugal before the squad takes the three-hour flight north east to the host nation for the tournament.
But who will take to the field on July 5 as Wales take on the Netherlands, ranked 11th in the world by FIFA?
Despite not featuring for club or country since suffering an ACL injury during Chelsea's pre-season fixture with Feyenoord in September, Sophie Ingle features in the travelling party.
The chances of the central midfielder being named in the starting 11 against the Dutch appear slim, to say the least, although she is bullish of her chances.
Ingle, 33, resumed training with Wales during their recent Nations League double header against Denmark and Italy, although head coach Wilkinson urged caution over her availability in Switzerland, given the seriousness of the injury she sustained nine months ago.
Beyond the obvious Ingle question, Wilkinson does not, at present, have any injury concerns when it comes to the rest of her squad.
Olivia Clark can expect to continue in goal, while the likes of Gemma Evans, Hayley Ladd and captain Angharad James are nigh-on certain to start the trio of group stage matches against the Netherlands, France and England.
Taliswoman Jess Fishlock's minutes may well need to be managed given her own injury issues over recent months, although given her immense quality, Wilkinson will be eager to have the Seattle Reign midfielder on the pitch as much as possible next month.

But there are some tough calls to make elsewhere within the squad.
The likes of Kayleigh Barton, Elise Hughes, Ffion Morgan and Hannah Cain are vying for a starting berth in the forward positions while Carrie Jones and Rachel Rowe will hope to push to operate centrally with James.
One thing is for certain, on paper at least. Wales will be underdogs in each of their three Group D fixtures, particularly as they are the lowest ranked side in the tournament.
As seen during the majority of their Nations League fixtures with Sweden, Denmark and Italy, Wales have had to suffer for prolonged periods without the ball against such stellar opposition.
The same will apply in July.
But, as evidenced in the pair of draws with Sweden and particularly the second half of the 1-0 loss to Denmark in Odense, Wilkinson's side are more than capable of carrying a threat when they do manage to get a foothold against the big guns.
Although there is a but.

Euro 2017 winners Netherlands lost just once in 13 matches prior to being thumped 4-0 by Germany on May 30, and even the sole defeat in that run came at the hands of four-time World Cup winners, the USA.
Lyon's Danielle van de Donk and Wolfsburg's Lineth Beerensteyn are among key talents Wales will be looking to thwart, while Manchester City striker Vivianne Miedema is a name far more familiar to those on these shores.
Both Netherlands and France competed in the 2023-24 Nations League finals - with the latter winning all seven matches in 2025 so far, scoring 19 times and conceding just twice in that period.
Laurent Bonadei's Les Bleues are third-favourites to win the tournament, behind Spain and England, and boast a squad packed with talented stars such as Chelsea winger Sandy Baltimore, Paris Saint-Germain forward Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Lyon striker Kadidiatou Diani.
As for neighbours England, who won the tournament on home soil three years ago, they remain a formidable force, despite the recent retirements of Mary Earps, Fran Kirby and Rachel Daly while Millie Bright declared herself unavailable after stating she could not "mentally or physically" give her maximum.
But for Wilkinson, the focus lies solely on what she herself can control.
Announcing her squad from the summit of Yr Wyddfa, the 43-year-old was adamant that at least one player within her ranks would shock her in a positive way next month.

Bristol City’s Tianna Teisar, Sunderland’s Mary McAteer and Manchester United’s Scarlett Hill are all training with the squad and could yet be involved in some capacity.
Wilkinson also knows the experienced members of her squad, of which there are plenty, are well versed when it comes to handling the big occasions, just as they did in Dublin against the Republic of Ireland on December 3.
Wales have also shown great resilience under the Canadian, with just one of their five defeats from the 16 matches under Wilkinson being by more than a single goal.
A quick glance at the opposition team sheets next month will typify just how tough a task Wales have ahead of them to gain any points, let alone progress out of their group at the Euros.
But Wales have absolutely nothing to lose on the grandest stage, while they stand to have so much to gain should they continue to build on the progress made under Wilkinson so far.
