Wales: Losing run a burden Wales ‘don’t want to carry’ – boss Wilkinson

Having been beaten by Australia and Poland in October, Wales are now winless in 11 matches since beating Republic of Ireland 1-0 on 3 December last year – a result that clinched a place at the Euros.

It is the team’s longest run without a victory in 22 years, and while determined to see Wales claim a first triumph since that memorable night in Dublin almost exactly a year ago, Wilkinson feels 2025 has been a year her side can use for the better in 2026.

“I made a lot of changes for the Poland game – that’s always a risk you take when you’re a coach, but it’s a standard that I have now and my expectation of them [the players] and their expectation of themselves,” added Wilkinson.

“That is what this year has been about – it’s about really moving the needle for this team.

“When I say about not chasing the wins, yes, it’s frustrating, but equally I wouldn’t have changed this journey for much. Every step has been really important and I know is going to set us up even better for 2026.”

Wales take on South Korea for the first time on Friday, 28 November in Malaga before facing Switzerland in Jerez on Tuesday, 2 December.
