Wales Women Drawn with Denmark, Italy, Iceland in Nations League A Return

Wales Women Drawn with Denmark, Italy, Iceland in Nations League A Return

Wales women's national team will face Denmark, Italy, and Iceland in the 2027 UEFA Women's Nations League A after earning promotion from League B. The draw reunites Wales with Denmark and Italy, who both defeated Rhian Wilkinson's side twice during their previous stint in the top division in 2025.

Wales were relegated from League A in May 2025 following a 1-0 loss in Denmark, finishing bottom of a group that also included Sweden. They secured an immediate return by topping Group B1 in the 2027 Women's World Cup qualifying campaign, remaining unbeaten against the Czech Republic, Albania, and Montenegro.

Fixtures for the 2027 Nations League have not yet been confirmed by UEFA, but matches will be played across the international windows in February/March, April, and June. The group winners will advance to the Nations League finals in October and earn a place at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, while the bottom team will be relegated to League B.

Before the Nations League begins, Wales face Norway in a two-legged World Cup play-off final. The home leg is scheduled for 1 December at Cardiff City Stadium, with the away leg four days later. Even a victory over Gemma Grainger's Norway side may not guarantee a spot at the 2027 World Cup in Brazil, as Wales could still need to navigate inter-confederation play-offs in February 2027.
