Cymru squad announced for 2023 Victory Shield Tournament

James Rowberry will take charge of the squad selected to represent Cymru in the Victory Shield Tournament that will be held in north Wales.

Cymru kick-off their campaign on Monday 6 November at Denbigh Town where they will face Northern Ireland (KO 18:00).

Rowberry’s side will return to Denbigh on Wednesday 8 November where they will host the Republic of Ireland (KO 18:00) before facing Scotland three days later at Colwyn Bay (KO 11:02).

The Victory Shield is a prestigious U16 boys tournament held annually and rotated between the four participating countries. Cymru were joint winners of the Shield in 2019 and 2021 and current senior internationals Ethan Ampadu, Neco Williams and Dylan Levitt have all taken part in the competition in previous years.
