Jayne Ludlow reckons Wales’ final UEFA Women’s Euro2022 qualifier against Belarus will be like a Cup final. Wales will go into the game at Newport’s Rodney Parade on 1 December hoping to qualify for a major final for the first time in their history.

Wales manager Jayne Ludlow has named an uncapped duo in the squad for the final UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 qualifying round match against Belarus. Esther Morgan (Tottenham) and Caitlin Morris Southampton) could win their first caps at Newport’s Rodney Parade on 1 December.

Wales moved closer to qualifying for their first major finals with a thumping victory over Faroe islands at Newport’s Rodney Parade. Natasha Harding struck twice, Helen Ward extended her Wales goal scoring record and Lily Woodham bagged her first for her country.

Sophie Ingle insists Wales can derail runaway UEFA European Championship qualifying Group C leaders Norway next month – if they find their clinical streak. The Chelsea star saw her celebrations at joining Wales’ 100 Club tinged with disappointment after a narrow 1-0 defeat in Oslo on Tuesday.

Sophie Ingle believes mighty Chelsea and little Vale Wanderers have been crucial influences in her route to becoming a Welsh centurion. Ingle will win her 100th cap in Oslo tonight when Wales attempt to put a dent in Norway’s leadership of their Euro qualifying group. It is a fittingly significant match for a notable personal milestone. Only Jess Fishlock and Loren Dykes have reached three figures among Wales’ footballers – women or men.

Skipper Sophie Ingle is set to become the third Wales player to win 100 caps in the UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 Qualifying Round tie against Norway in Oslo on September 22nd. The achievement will add to an incredible 2020 for Ingle who has won three domestic trophies with Chelsea.

The Women’s Super League kicks-off this weekend and Wales’ most-capped player will be hoping she can keep up with the new pace of the game. Jess Fishlock is back in the big time in British football having signed a loan deal with Reading Royals. The last time she played here she was at Bristol Academy and wasn’t sure exactly where the game in the UK was going. Her wanderlust, and desire to better herself as a player, has taken her to Scotland, Holland, Germany, Australia, the United States and France.

Jess Fishlock has vowed to make a full recovery from the serious knee injury that will keep her on the sidelines for the rest of the year. The Wales striker has suffered a torn knee ligament playing for Reign FC against Utah Royals in the USA’s National Women’s Soccer League. It means Fishlock – Wales’ most experienced player with 113 caps – will miss the opening four qualifiers of Wales’ Euro 2021 campaign which begin in the new season.

England’s Lionesses face the sternest test of their Women’s World Cup campaign when they meet the USA in Lyon. But it is Team GB’s off-field qualification for the Olympic Games that poses problems for England and Wales, says Twm Owen. Team GB last week qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics women’s football tournament, which is […]

The Women’s World Cup has kicked off in France and today England – who edged out Wales in qualification – begin their campaign against Scotland in Nice. The tournament promises to create more noise than any before and, as Graham Thomas notes, is part of an increasing volume around the world, with Wales playing their part.  Odd, rather than even number years in the calendar – such as 2019 – are supposed to be the quiet ones. But the impact being made across the board by women in Welsh sport, and the rising commercial interest, suggests this year could be of landmark significance.

As a history teacher, Leah Wilkinson knows plenty of memorable dates. But this weekend she will celebrate a couple of her own making, taking her place in the annals of Welsh sporting history during the three-test series against France in Cardiff.

Jess Fishlock has been rested following her Champions League heroics as Wales manager Jayne Ludlow names a 20-player squad to face New Zealand on Tuesday June 4.
