Wales is set to compete against Denmark, Italy, and Iceland in the upcoming Nations League A next year. Previously, under Rhian Wilkinson's management, the Welsh team faced tough losses, getting beaten twice by both Denmark and Italy during their last stint in the top division in 2025.

Despite drawing both home and away with group winners Sweden, Wales finished at the bottom of the table and was relegated to the second-tier League B. However, the team has made a strong comeback, topping Group B1 as part of their qualification for the 2027 Women's World Cup, remaining unbeaten against Czech Republic, Albania, and Montenegro.

While the fixtures for the 2027 Nations League are yet to be confirmed by Uefa, the competition will take place across the international windows in February/March, April, and June. Wilkinson's squad aims to use these matches as preparation for their first-ever appearance at a World Cup finals.

Having recently defeated Albania 4-0 on aggregate in a World Cup play-off semi-final, Wales now faces a crucial final against Norway. The first leg will be held at Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday, 1 December, followed by an away match four days later. Despite the potential for victory against a side managed by former Welsh boss Gemma Grainger, the intricate nature of the qualification process means Wales may still need to navigate inter-confederation play-offs next February to secure their place in the World Cup finals.
