Euro 2025: Wales name squad at Yr Wyddfa summit
Update: Date: 07:51 BST Title: Post Content: What we don't know for sure just yet is how Rhian Wilkinson is getting to the top of Yr Wyddfa. As you can see from a couple of our pictures, the Wales head coach went up the mountain a few weeks ago - and apparently she climbed it that day. But you would think the train might be the easier option this morning. More on her choice of transport as and when we get it... Update: Date: 07:46 BST Title: Taking the train Content: Chris WathanBBC Sport Wales at Yr Wyddfa A very good morning from a sunny Llanberis. A few years back, Wales announced their squad for the men's 2022 World Cup from a miners' hall in the Rhondda hometown of then boss Rob Page. They've gone for a much bigger venue for their first women's major finals. The peak of Yr Wyddfa is just hidden away from us to the north but the green foothills point the way to Wales' highest point, where the views should be spectacular on a day like this. Thankfully, the Football Association of Wales isn't making the assembled media climb to the summit for the big reveal. We'll be boarding the Snowdown Mountain Railway for the near five-mile journey to the top, where the 23-player squad will be announced. Update: Date: 07:43 BST Title: Why a mountain? Content: Why are Wales naming their squad on a mountain, I hear you ask. Well, the Football Association of Wales tell us the idea aligns with the team's internal messaging throughout the qualifying campaign, in which reaching the summit of Yr Wyddfa was used as analogy for qualifying for a first major tournament. On top of that, the idea fits the bill when it comes to Uefa's slogan for the tournament, which is 'the summit of emotions'. Update: Date: 07:38 BST Title: Scaling the heights - and climbing a mountain Content: Rhian Wilkinson's press conferences are usually held in a hotel lounge or media room in the bowels of a stadium. But it is a different story this morning. Wales scaled new heights by reaching Euro 2025 - and Wilkinson is climbing a mountain to announce her squad for the tournament. The 23 players who make the cut will be named from the top of Yr Wyddfa - previously known as Snowdon, Wales' highest summit. "Being able to announce our first ever major tournament squad on Wales' summit will be a truly special occasion," Wilkinson explained. "The area is very close to my heart having visited regularly with my family during my time growing up in Wales." Update: Date: 07:33 BST Title: What's the plan this morning? Content: The timing of these things can be a little unpredictable, but Wales' squad for the European Championship is due to be unveiled at 09:00 BST. Rhian Wilkinson's press conference will follow - and you can watch it right here with us. We will have updates from Yr Wyddfa throughout the morning. Update: Date: 07:30 BST Title: Good morning! Content: Hello and welcome to another special day in the history of Welsh women's football. Today is the day that head coach Rhian Wilkinson names her squad for Euro 2025, the first women's major tournament in Wales' history. We will bring you all the build-up as Wales fans wait to see who will fly the flag in Switzerland this summer - and reaction as the players are announced. So stay with us for what should be an interesting morning.
