Craig Bellamy has announced a 25-player squad as his side will travel to Astana for a World Cup qualifier against Kazakhstan (Thursday 4 September) and to the Swansea.com Stadium to face Canada (Tuesday 9 September).
More than 1,000 fans will travel to Astana as part of the Red Wall, the first time the Cymru men’s team will make the 3,000-mile trip to Kazakhstan. Bellamy has called up three uncapped players to the squad; Ronan Kpakio, Dylan Lawlor and Kai Andrews, all of which are under the age of 21.
Players that play their club football for Wrexham will be involved in the squad for the first time in more than a decade after Danny Ward, Nathan Broadhead and Kieffer Moore all joined the club in the summer.
Cymru currently sit second in Group J with two wins, a draw and one loss at the halfway stage of the qualifying campaign. The group winners qualify directly for the World Cup; the four remaining berths are determined by play-offs involving the 12 group runners-up and four teams from last year’s Nations League phase.
The match against Canada on Tuesday 9 September (KO 7:45pm) marks a return to Swansea for the team, having last played there in November 2020 in a goalless draw against the USA during the COVID-19 pandemic. The last match with a crowd at the Swansea.com Stadium was in March 2013 against Croatia, in a match featuring current Head Coach Craig Bellamy.
Tickets for the match against Canada are available to purchase on the FAW ticketing website.
