Wales have named a 27‑player squad for the June World Cup qualifiers, mixing seasoned internationals with two teenagers stepping up. Uncapped Bournemouth midfielder Elena Cole, 19, earns her first senior call after impressing at under‑19 level, while 18‑year‑old Manchester United defender Scarlett Hill adds a second cap. Veteran Ceri Holland anchors the midfield, bringing experience from Liverpool for the upcoming campaign.

Defender Lois Joel returns after missing the Albania fixtures with injury, bolstering Newcastle’s back line. Forward Carrie Jones stands on the brink of 50 caps if she features in both June matches, a milestone that would cement her status among Wales’ most-capped players. The group’s tiebreakers prioritize head‑to‑head records, then goal difference, goals scored and away goals and away wins.

The selection list also features Leicester’s Olivia Clark, Manchester City’s Mayzee Davies and Seattle Reign’s Angharad James, providing depth across attack and midfield. With the Czech Republic looming as the primary rival, Wales must secure points quickly; a single slip could force reliance on the intricate tie‑breaking hierarchy. The squad now faces a decisive test in the opening fixture on home soil.
