Women’s Nations League: Wales boss Rhian Wilkinson disappointed by ticket sales


Wilkinson has previously said Wales is “culturally behind” when it comes to supporting the women’s team.

And she insists she will continue to make that point with Wales men’s team regularly selling out Cardiff City Stadium and with over 2,000 fans making the trip to North Macedonia to watch Craig Bellamy’s side in World Cup qualifying this week.

“To anyone who was out in North Macedonia or watching it on television, to the Red Wall, this is a sporting nation, men, women, youth, get behind your team,” she told BBC Sport Wales.

“This is one of the last opportunities to see this team before the Euros. Can you help me in letting them feel supported? Because I know that there is so much support and sometimes we just don’t always see that in the numbers coming out to the games, but this is an important game for us, a huge game for us.

“So I would ask people to come out to support their team and let this wonderful group of women feel as loved as they are.”

Wilkinson believes people will regret it if they do not get to watch Wales’ top goalscorer and record appearance-maker, Jess Fishlock, before it is too late, with the Seattle Reign midfielder now 38-years old.

“I don’t know when she’ll retire but she will not play forever,” added the Wales boss.

“If you haven’t had the privilege of seeing someone like her play then get out to Cardiff. These are things I think we as Welsh people take for granted.

“Those who didn’t see Gareth Bale when he was playing regret it. Don’t regret this. She is a very special player who is really delivering in every single game she plays in.

“There are players on this team that are generational players that you will not see for very much longer. This is a history-making team, so connected to their country and wanting to put this team on the world stage and deliver results.”
