Wilkinson names Wales Euro 2025 squad

Wales’ 23-player squad for the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 finals in Switzerland has been announced by Rhian Wilkinson on the top of the

Wyddfa, Wales’ highest summit.

Angharad James will captain the squad and is one of four centurions that have been selected for Wales’ first major tournament in the women’s game. The three

other selected centurions are Wales’ most capped player Jess Fishlock, Hayley Ladd and Sophie Ingle, who has been selected after a period out with an ACL injury.  

Wales will face the winners of the last two EURO tournaments in England (2022) and the Netherlands (2017), as well as France who reached the semi finals in 2017. The two top placed sides in the group will then progress to the quarter final stage.

Wilkinson’s side will begin the tournament in Lucerne against the Netherlands on Saturday 5 July (KO 5pm BST), before travelling to St. Gallen to face France (8pm BST Wednesday 9 July) and England 8pm BST Sunday 13 July).
