Big news for Wales fans out there, the team for the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 finals has been announced.

Head coach Rhian Wilkinson has announced her squad for the tournament in Switzerland, the first major women's tournament in their history.

Angharad James will captain the team and is one of four centurions in the team - players that have 100 caps for Cymru, the Wales national team.

The other 'centurions' are the most-capped Welsh player Jess Fishlock, Hayley Ladd, and former captain Sophie Ingle, who is back from injury in time to make the squad.

The squad announcement took place on the summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), overlooking the Eryri National Park in north Wales.

A 23-player squad was announced but places could be offered so extra players can travel with the squad at a later date.

"We've got a really good group of more experienced players and then the younger players," said defender, Rhiannon Roberts.

"I think, together, as a whole, we've got a really good togetherness, a good mix and a good culture.

"I think everyone's just looking forward to the journey."
