Wales boss Rhian Wilkinson says she has "never been prouder," despite Wales being on the brink of Euro 2025 elimination after a 4-1 defeat to France.

It had to be her. Wales’s debut at a European Championship has meant a group stage full of new experiences, but it felt fitting that a 38-year‑old Jess Fishlock, double Champions League winner and icon of the women’s game, would register the first Wales goal in a major tournament against France on Wednesday night.

Rhian Wilkinson says Wales players are OK after team bus involved in collision - The Welsh have cancelled their scheduled training session at the stadium.

The Seattle Reign midfielder is less a player in her home nation and more an irrepressible force of nature, the very reason Wales are in Switzerland in the first place. (In qualifying for the Euros, the 38-year-old was directly involved in nine goals — six goals, three assists — in 10 matches.)

Katie Sherwood has urged Wales to show no fear in their decisive clash against reigning European champions England tomorrow.

She is a legend of the women's game as a player and coach, but for Rhian Wilkinson, managing Wales felt like destiny.

Wales face near-elimination from Euro 2025 after a 4-1 loss to France in Group D at St Gallen. Despite the heavy defeat, Jess Fishlock scored Wales’s first-ever goal at a major tournament, marking a historic moment for the team.
