“We’re Wales,” says Michele Adams, one of the three women who successfully lobbied the Football Association of Wales (FAW) in 1992 to formally recognise a national women’s team, more than 20 years after the near 50-year ban on women’s football was lifted in the country.

Thousands of Welsh and English football fans have arrived in the Swiss city of St. Gallen before Sunday's Euro 2025 match between the two countries. A win will guarantee England's Lionesses a place in the last eight of the tournament. Wales will be eliminated unless they beat England by four goals or more and the Netherlands lose to France.

England go into the clash against Wales knowing that a win will ensure passage to the quarterfinals. Sarina Wiegman's side provided a reminder of why they were heavily-touted favourites at Euro 2025 in their 4-0 win over Netherlands on Wednesday.
