    Women’s World Cup qualifying: Wales grateful to have Jess Fishlock on board – Carrie Jones

    Having reached Euro 2025, the first major women’s tournament in the nation’s history, Wales’ next target is to reach a first World Cup.

    However, the path to qualification is not simple, with no automatic route available to Wales because they are not in League A.

    Assuming they do not finish bottom of a group which also features Albania, Wales will face play-offs late in 2026.

    Should Wales finish top of the group, their first-round play-off would be against a side who finish second or third in a League B pool.

    But if Wilkinson’s team finish second or third, they would face a side who finish in fourth place in League A or a Group B winner.

    The second round of the play-offs is seeded and should Wales get that far, they would be likely to face League A opposition.
