The Wales national football team represents Wales in international football. It is controlled by the Football Association of Wales (FAW), the governing body for football in Wales and the third-oldest national football association in the world.
/r/WelshFootball is a subreddit dedicated to the Welsh National Football team. However, we would also love to hear about any major news stories from Welsh club football too, be it in the Welsh or English league system.

Any league.
So my sister swears blind that Ryan Giggs is still a professional footballer, but playing for a non-league team. I have repeatedly googled this but I can find no such evidence. However my sister is usually correct about everything.
We both used to love Ryan Giggs, and had photographs of him in our bedrooms. She used to say she was his biggest fan and that I didn't know anything about love or desire. Now we're a bit older and I feel like I know a thing or two about love and desire, and I definitely know enough to know that he's almost certainly enjoying his retirement rather than trying to relive his glory days at some piddly little non-league team for no money.
Can anyone confirm I'm correct? I would particularly appreciate some concrete evidence that I can show my sister when she - inevitably - tells me I'm wrong again.
We're on a mission to find the biggest rivalries in world football outside the 'biggest' leagues.
We're not talking Swansea v Cardiff, Wrexham or anyone else in the English football league but moreso the Cymru Premier.
Cardiff Met v Barry Town United are playing on the 16th August. from our limited research this seems to be the biggest rivalry, is that true? why? Are there any others that locally you think are just as big? What makes them so big? Would love to hear more!
My father born in Wales and I would like to have dual citizenship (US and Wales). How do I go about getting Welsh citizenship?
Now that Rob Page is gone we need a new manager, me and my dad think if Tony Pulis was still working he would do a job, opinion?
We've been here before... Being a great player does not guarantee you will be a great coach. Not sure Henry has done anything in his coaching career to date, that justifies him becoming the coach of Wales.

Wales have the second best record out of the British nations. How do you guys feel about your footballing history?
Sorry for the ignorance but I've been having this question for many years, if a player naturalizes with a British Passport would they be eligible for the 4 UK nations or specifically just England?
Bore da pawb,
Having been spoiled of the riches of seeing Wales qualify for three major tournaments in the last 8 years, I must admit I'm feeling a bit jealous seeing Scottish fans descend on Munich in full force, especially seeing as in the last Euros, the Red Wall was limited in its support due to game venues and COVID restrictions. Still, I love the Euros and will still enjoy watching the games when I have the chance.
As for us, I'm wondering what the plan is? Of course, Rob Page has to go, but as for playing personnel, what changes need to be made? We're fortunate in that we still have a young(ish), but experienced, squad in a lot of areas (Rodon, Jordan James, Harry Wilson, Ampadu, Mepham, Johnson, Brooks, Neco, etc), but we're severely lacking in strength upfront and in depth too. Moore has been a great asset to us in recent years, but has tailed off quite considerably in matches where we've really needed him. The problem is, there's nobody else to step into the breach when he's off his game.
On a positive note, Wales do have some uncapped options who have impressed last season who might be able to step up to the plate. Isaak Davies, Aaron Collins, Jack Vale, even Andrew Hughes who's an experienced Championship defender could be an option at the back.
This is surely the last straw? How much longer are we going to be subjected to this nonsense?
Leaving the country to go travelling around Europe in a van so money is tight atm but I am hoping to catch an away game or two if I’m in the area.
Why haven't we played Paul Mullin?
He's fully able to play for us, he's proven himself at Wrexham as a top quality striker, I think him and Moore as a striker duo up front would work really well for us, plus the likes of Johnson and Wilson playing out wide
The only young Welsh prospects I am familiar with are Elliot Myles and Gabriele Biancheri. So who are some young Welsh prospects who are maybe flying under the radar?
The last time we beat England in a senior men's match was in May of 1984 in the British Home Championship, sadly as a young Welsh fan I was very far off being born. With the Welsh squad in a development stage as I would call it and promising young players coming though do you think Wales will ever beat England again?
