Association football (Welsh: pêl-droed) is one of the most popular sports in Wales, along with rugby union. Wales has produced club teams of varying fortunes since the early birth of football during the Victorian period, and in 1876 a Wales national football team played their first international match. Football has always had a close rivalry with the country's de facto national sport rugby union, and it is much discussed as to which is Wales' more popular game. The Football Association of Wales (FAW), was established in 1876 to oversee the Wales national team and govern the sport in Wales, later creating and running the Welsh football league system.

  • Fußball (walisisch: pêl-droed) hat in Wales hat eine lange Tradition und gehört dort neben Rugby zu den beliebtesten Sportarten. Der nationale Fußballverband, die Football Association of Wales (kurz: FAW), wurde 1876 gegründet und ist damit nach der FA und der SFA der drittälteste Fußballverband der Welt. Obwohl Wales kein eigenständiges Land ist, ist die FAW sowohl Mitglied der FIFA als auch der UEFA und stellt eine eigene Nationalmannschaft. Der walisische Fußball brachte zahlreiche Legenden wie Gareth Bale, Ian Rush, Ivor Allchurch, Neville Southall oder Ryan Giggs hervor. Trotzdem nahm die Nationalmannschaft bisher lediglich an der Weltmeisterschaft 1958 sowie an der Europameisterschaft 2016 teil, an der mit dem Erreichen des Halbfinals der bisher größte Erfolg eingefahren wurde. Traditionell spielten die walisischen Vereinsmannschaften im englischen Ligensystem. 1992 wurde mit der Cymru Premier erstmals eine rein-walisische Liga gegründet. Fünf Mannschaften weigerten sich, der walisischen Liga beizutreten, und spielen weiterhin in den englischen Ligen. (de)
  • Association football (Welsh: pêl-droed) is one of the most popular sports in Wales, along with rugby union. Wales has produced club teams of varying fortunes since the early birth of football during the Victorian period, and in 1876 a Wales national football team played their first international match. Football has always had a close rivalry with the country's de facto national sport rugby union, and it is much discussed as to which is Wales' more popular game. The Football Association of Wales (FAW), was established in 1876 to oversee the Wales national team and govern the sport in Wales, later creating and running the Welsh football league system. Welsh professional club teams traditionally played in the same leagues as their English counterparts, structured into regional divisions. This often resulted in teams from north and south Wales not facing each other as the transport links between the two regions were poor. In 1992 the Cymru Premier was formed to create a national league. Five Welsh clubs refused to join, but despite this the teams that come top of the Cymru Premier have a greater chance of playing in European competition, as the top three clubs are drawn into the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League. They also have the opportunity to compete in the Welsh Cup, the most prestigious cup competition in Welsh football. Until 2016 the Wales national team rarely qualified for the major international tournaments, with its only appearance in the World Cup occurring in 1958. However, they reached the semi-finals of UEFA Euro 2016 and the last 16 of UEFA Euro 2020, as well as having qualified for the 2022 World Cup. This has led to some world-renowned players from Wales not being seen at the biggest international tournaments, though many of them have made a name for themselves at club level. Welsh players of note include Trevor Ford, Cliff Jones, John Charles, Ian Rush, Mark Hughes, Neville Southall, Ryan Giggs, Aaron Ramsey and Gareth Bale while in Wales Ivor Allchurch, Fred Keenor and Jack Kelsey are cherished. Dragon Park, the Wales National Football Development Centre, is located in Newport. (en)
