Gemma Grainger has announced her 26-player Cymru squad for the away double header UEFA Women’s Nations League matches against Germany (Friday 27 October) and Denmark (Tuesday 31 October).
Hannah Cain returns to the squad after missing out on last month’s matches due to injury, while the uncapped Josie Longhurst receives a call-up. Longhurst has been involved in previous squads and has been capped at U17 and U19 level.
The fixtures are part of the first ever UEFA Women’s Nations League competition, where Cymru will face Iceland, Denmark and Germany in League A. The competition is also a potential opportunity for Grainger’s side to guarantee a qualification place for the 2025 UEFA Women’s EURO competition. A full explainer of the Nations League format is available here.
Following the October camp, Cymru will have back-to-back home matches in December to end the campaign. Tickets for the matches against Iceland at the Cardiff City Stadium (19:15 Friday 1 December) and Germany at the Swansea.com Stadium (18:30 Tuesday 5 December) are available to purchase on the FAW ticketing website, priced at £10 for adults and £5 for children, with discount for Red Wall members.
