Wales will face Fiji at Cardiff City Stadium for the inaugural Nations Championship Test on July 4, marking the first international match at the Cardiff City Football Club venue. The game, part of World Rugby's new biennial competition, will see Wales play three away fixtures against Fiji, Argentina, and South Africa, with the latter two matches scheduled for Durban and San Juan, respectively. Cardiff City Stadium, hosting 33,280 spectators—far below the Principality Stadium’s 74,000 capacity—is chosen due to logistical challenges for Fiji’s home matches and revenue considerations. The Principality Stadium, Wales’ traditional home, is unavailable in late June and early July due to non-rugby events, including a Metallica concert on June 28.
