Wales’ women’s football team have been handed a tough draw at next summer’s EURO 2025 – with Rhian Wilkinson’s side joined by the Netherlands, France, and reigning champions England in Group D.

Wales made history by reaching the finals of a major tournament for the first-ever time earlier this month – beating Republic of Ireland over two legs in the play-off to seal qualification.

The competition will be held in Switzerland next summer between July 2 and July 27.

Wales’ first game will be against the Dutch in Luzern on Saturday July 5, before taking on Les Bleues in St Gallen on Wednesday July 9.

The final group game, which will also be played in St Gallen, will be against Sarina Wiegman’s Lionesses on Sunday July 13.
