Team Wales released a 114‑man roster for the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, including Olympic gold medallists Matt Richards and Emma Finucane. The squad features 22 Para‑athletes and spans 10 sports, from swimming to weightlifting.

Wales finished eighth in Birmingham 2022, claiming 28 medals. The new team builds on that legacy, with stars like Paralympic champion Aled Sion Davies and world silver medalist Ruby Evans eyeing gold.

Head coach Gethin Jones highlighted the squad’s ambition, noting the growth in para‑events at Glasgow. With 66 women and 48 men, the roster showcases depth across age groups, from 16‑year‑old hopefuls to veteran 73‑year‑olds.

The announcement signals Wales’ intent to improve on Birmingham’s haul, aiming for a higher medal tally and stronger presence in both able‑bodied and para‑sports at the Games.
