But don’t despair, Wales fans! 🇽🇼 There’s still a lifeline. Even though topping the group seems unlikely, Craig Bellamy’s squad can still set their sights on the play-offs, thanks to their solid UEFA Nations League ranking.

Here’s what needs to happen:
– Wales must win their last two matches against Liechtenstein (Nov 15) and North Macedonia (Nov 18).
– Hope that Belgium slips up in their remaining games against Kazakhstan and Liechtenstein.

Finishing second in the group guarantees a play-off spot, while third place could also be enough due to Wales’ high Nations League standing. It’s not over yet! Remember, Wales went through a similar path to reach the last World Cup.

So mark your calendars, support the team, and let’s aim for those play-offs. March 2026 could well see us fighting for a spot in the World Cup in North America. Keep the faith, Cymru! 🙌 #Wales #WorldCup2026 #TogetherStronger
