National Coaches Conference 2026: Rhian Wilkinson to deliver theory session

Current Cymru Women’s National Team Manager Rhian Wilkinson holds vast experience as a player with 183 international caps for Canada to her name.

Following her retirement from playing, Wilkinson made the move into coaching, winning the NWSL championship in 2022 whilst in charge of the Portland Thorns. Having been appointed as Manager of the Cymru Women’s National Team in 2024, Wilkinson led the side to their first ever major tournament with qualification for UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 in Switzerland.

The Cymru boss will be discussing a theory session at the NCC this year, taking part in a Q&A event on Transformational and Adaptable Leaders.
