The Wales women’s national football team often stands out before the whistle even blows. Fans might remember them for a peculiar habit: their pre-game team photos sometimes look a little wonky. They don’t always line up perfectly, a small detail that a recent report highlighted with a chuckle. But this week, their journey took a far more serious turn in Switzerland.
As the team traveled towards St. Gallen, where they are set to play France in the second match of their Euro 2025 qualifying campaign, their bus was involved in a road incident. Head coach Rhian Wilkinson quickly confirmed the news. Thankfully, none of the players or staff on the Welsh bus suffered any injuries. Still, Wilkinson shared that the team was quite shaken by what happened.
Emergency services attended to the scene. The driver of the other vehicle involved in the incident was checked by paramedics. As a precaution, they were taken to a local hospital. Following the unsettling event, the Welsh team’s scheduled training session for the day was cancelled. It was a moment of unexpected disruption for a squad gearing up for a crucial match.
