about the team

A record of one World Cup appearance in 1958 doesn't really do justice to the fine players and memorable moments the Welsh national team have provided us with over the years. Whether its the golden years of the 1950s when John Charles was in his prime, the teams of the 1980s lead by Mark Hughes and Ian Rush or the modern marvels such as Ryan Giggs and John Hartson, Wales have always been able to call on top players who wear the shirt with pride.

At the moment, Wales are a team in transition, as a new generation of players aim to establish themselves on the international scene. With players like Gareth Bale in the team, they're sure to challenge any team they come up against.
