BBC Cymru Wales to air all Wales Women’s Euro 2025 Qualifiers
BBC Cymru Wales will provide live coverage of all of Wales’ upcoming Women’s Euro 2025 Qualifiers.
The games will mark the first time that former Canadian international Rhian Wilkinson takes charge as Wales coach.
Wales will kick off their campaign on Friday 5 April when they play host to Croatia in the world’s oldest international stadium – Wrexham’s STōK Cae Ras.
BBC One Wales will have all the action live on Match of the Day Wales from 7pm (Kick off 7.15pm), with presenter Catrin Heledd joined in the studio by former Wales players Nia Jones and Katie Sherwood.

The squad will then travel to Kosovo for the second game of their campaign four days later, with BBC Two Wales providing live coverage from Podujevo on Match of the Day Wales from 12.45pm (Kick off 1pm).
Ukraine will complete the qualifying group, with Wales scheduled to host them on Friday 31 May.
The home matches against Ukraine, as well as the final game of the campaign, against Kosovo on Tuesday 16 July, will take place at Llanelli’s Parc y Scarlets, where Wales previously played during the 2019 Women’s World Cup Qualifiers.
Rhuanedd Richards, Director of BBC Cymru Wales said: “This announcement that BBC Cymru Wales will be providing live coverage of each of Wales’ Euro 2025 qualifying games underlines our commitment to the women’s national football team.
“I’m thrilled that we can join them every step of the way, and can’t wait for the campaign to kick off in Wrexham, as we follow new coach Rhian Wilkinson and her squad in their bid to qualify for the Euros.”
