Rhian Wilkinson has announced a 26-player squad for Cymru’s final two games of the UEFA Women’s Nations League campaign.

Cymru will travel to Odense to face Denmark at the Odense Stadium on Friday 30 May (KO 6:15pm) before facing Italy at the Swansea.com Stadium on Tuesday 3 June (KO 6:30pm).

Mared Griffiths and Soffia Kelly have both been selected after being involved with the WU19s in their Round 2 League A EURO qualifiers in south Wales in April, where the team finished second in their group.

Laura O’Sullivan-Jones is unavailable due to suffering an ACL injury.

Rhian Wilkinson’s side faced Denmark in Cardiff last month which ended in a 2-1 defeat. Cymru come into the window off the back of an impressive 1-1 draw against Sweden in Gothenburg, a side ranked fifth in the world at the time.

Cymru will be hoping for two positive results to maintain their place in League A.

The Italy match at the Swansea.com Stadium will be Cymru’s final match in Wales ahead of the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 finals in Switzerland, which will be the side’s first ever appearance in a major tournament.

Tickets for the Italy match are available to purchase on the FAW ticketing website, priced at £10 for adults and £5 for children, with discounts available for Red Wall members.
