Wales take a 1-0 lead into their Women's World Cup qualifying play-off semi-final second leg against Albania in Llanelli on Tuesday, with captain Angharad James revealing the squad has been given a history lesson on past play-off experiences.
James, who is four appearances away from reaching 150 Wales caps, said a players' meeting was held on the first day of camp to integrate the group and highlight the importance of the moment. "We have to give everything. It's a final game for us and every game is," she said.
The Welsh side have reached the play-off stages for only the third time in the history of the women's national team. Their previous attempts included a heartbreaking extra-time loss to Switzerland in the 2023 World Cup play-offs and a triumphant run to Euro 2025 last year.
Should Wales overcome Albania, they will face a play-off final in early December, likely against Norway, who currently lead their semi-final second leg against Romania.
