Rhian Wilkinson has named her squad as Wales Women aim to build on their strong start in the World Cup qualifiers with two games against Albania.
Four uncapped players feature in the squad, including a first time call up for goalkeeper, Lucy Farrell-Shrouder. Poppy Soper (Rugby Borough), Phoebie Poole (Plymouth Argyle) and Annie Wilding (Portsmouth) are the other three hoping for a debut.
Defender Mayzee Davies returns to the squad for the first time since suffering an ACL injury away to Denmark in May 2025. Olivia Clark misses out due to injury.
After a strong start to the campaign with 2-2 draw away to Czechia and a 6-1 win in Llanelli against Montenegro, Wilkinson will be hoping to build on those results when they face Albania at the STōK Cae Ras on Tuesday 14 April (7:15pm KO) and again on Saturday 18 April at the Elbasan Arena, Elbasan (6:00pm CEST KO). The match taking place on home soil will mark the first time these sides have ever faced each other.
Wales return to the STōK Cae Ras having previously played there in February last year in a 1-1 draw with Sweden in front of a record crowd for a home fixture outside of Cardiff with more than 6,000 in attendance.
Tickets are available to purchase on the FAW ticketing website.
