Euro 2025: Wales are 'doing a lot of catch up' in women's football

Technical director Dave Adams says the Football Association of Wales (FAW) are "doing a lot of catch up" in women's football as the Wales team prepare for Euro 2025.

Manager Rhian Wilkinson will name her squad on Thursday for Wales' first appearance at a major finals in Switzerland this summer.

Speaking to the BBC documentary series Iconic: The Rise of the Women in Red, which tells the story of the Wales women's team, Adams admits it is only recently that the FAW has invested equally between the men's and women's teams.

"It's very hard for me to comment on the history of it," said Adams, speaking before qualification was secured.

"But all I can say I suppose, is it probably wasn't fair or respectful to those athletes at that time.

"My view is, I've got a daughter myself so you'd hope that any opportunity that my son's afforded, my daughter is also afforded.

"I would endorse that as a parent."
