The Wales team bus was involved in a road traffic crash on Tuesday, and its training session was canceled at the stadium where it plays France at the Women's European Championship.
The Welsh Football Association said in a statement all the people involved – players and staff on the bus and in the other vehicle – were unharmed in the incident en route to the stadium in St. Gallen. Wales coach Rhian Wilkinson traveled separately from the team to the stadium for a news conference one day ahead of Wednesday's game. 'Football is secondary, and I think, yes, we are shaken because we are away from the team right now knowing that they've had to experience that,' Wilkinson said in comments reported by the BBC.
FAW said its priority has been to remove the players from the scene and return to the Cymru training base to complete their preparations for tomorrow's match. Wales plays France in the second Group D game for both at Euro 2025. Wales lost to the Netherlands 3–0 on Saturday, and France beat defending champion England 2–1.
