Wales must navigate the play-offs in March to reach the European Championship finals next summer. If they do so, it will be Wales’ fourth major tournament out of the last five.

Rob Page will fly to Switzerland on Wednesday, hoping the luck that avoided Wales against Turkey will be there when the Euro 2024 play-off draw is made. The Wales manager was left angry and frustrated that key decisions did not go in Wales’ favour during their 1-1 draw at home to the Turks on Tuesday night.

Rob Page insists Wales can still reach Euro 2024 by drawing on their successful World Cup play-off history. Page’s team were consigned to the Euro play-offs in March after a controversial 1-1 draw with Turkey in Cardiff.

Wrexham owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds have welcomed the decision for the club to take over the Racecourse Ground lease and allow them to push ahead with stadium development. The lease is currently held by Wrexham Supporters Trust, who wanted a binding covenant that the Hollywood-owned League Two club could not be moved away from the ground.

Wales’ players have been told to forget about the back door and knock down the front. Manager Rob Page has insisted there is no talk within his squad of play-offs as they head into their final Euro qualifying pool match against Turkey in Cardiff on Tuesday night.

Sophie Ingle joked that her appearance record in women’s football gave away her age as the Wales captain made another piece of history at the weekend. Ingle played her 184th Women’s Super League match – setting a new mark – as her Chelsea team thrashed Liverpool 5-1 as Lauren James scored a hat-trick.

Neco Williams has revealed deadly Armenia left Wales in stunned silence for a second time and their Euro 2024 hopes almost muted. The Nottingham Forest wing-back has admitted the unfancied Armenians have had much the better of two painful meetings with Wales in qualifiers.

Rob Page insists Wales can still make the Euro 2024 finals in Germany next year – but they will probably need to get there via the play-offs. A 1-1 draw against Armenia in Yerevan means Wales now need favours from others if they are to earn qualification directly. With Latvia unable to spring a Saturday night shock against Croatia, Page and his men must hope Armenia beat or draw with the Croats on the same Tuesday night that Wales host Turkey in their final game.

Rob Page hopes the presence of Aaron Ramsey can help Wales realise their Euro 2024 dream after the injured captain joined them on their long trek to Armenia. Midfielder Ramsey has not played since mid-September after damaging a knee tendon, missing last month’s stunning victory over World Cup semi-finalists Croatia that has left automatic qualification in Wales’ own hands entering the final two games.

Life after Gareth Bale initially appeared bleak for Wales, but Rob Page’s men have the chance of a third consecutive appearance at the European Championship in their own hands after a remarkable turnaround in Euro 2024 qualifying. Page’s job was reportedly in danger after a damaging 4-2 home defeat to Armenia was followed by a 2-0 loss away to Turkey in June.

Wales midfielder Jordan James is targeting Euro 2024 qualification after enjoying the “best night of my life” against stellar Croatia trio Luka Modric, Mateo Kovacic and Marcelo Brozovic. Croatia have often carried the tag of having the best midfield in world football, but they had few answers in Cardiff last month as Wales beat them 2-1 to keep hopes of playing at Euro 2024 alive.

Wales’ European Championships qualification fate is set to be determined over the next few days, so here’s a reminder of the state of play. The last group stage fixtures from the Euro 2024 qualifiers are set to be played across the coming days, though some nations have already booked their place at the tournament in Germany next summer.
