Women's Euros trophy visits Jenner Park

FAW

The UEFA Women's Euros trophy will visit Barry's Jenner Park this weekend at the end of a week-long tour of Wales.

It's the silverware Wales will be hoping to lift at the end of their first major women's tournament in Switzerland this summer.

Rhian Wilkinson's side will be facing the Netherlands, France and England in their group games in July.

The trophy began its week-long tour in Ruthin on Sunday and will be visiting more than forty clubs and schools before reaching its final stop at Jenner Park, during Sunday's Adran Premier game between Barry Town United and Swansea City.

The FAW says all of the stops are involved in FAW women's and girls' grassroots programmes, such as Huddle, UEFA Disney Playmakers, BE Football schools and BE.FC

Wilkinson said: "I’m really excited that we can bring this trophy across Wales to make sure young boys and girls are seeing it first hand, hopefully inspiring everyone ahead of this summer’s tournament in Switzerland and our upcoming Nations League matches in Cardiff and Swansea."

Wales also return to action next week in the Women's Nations League, when they take on Denmark at the Cardiff City Stadium on Friday 4th April, followed four days later by a trip to Gothenburg to face Sweden.

Their last outing saw Wales hold the World Cup bronze medalists to a surprise 1-1 draw in Wrexham.
