Notes:
Wales played their first international in 1876 against Scotland, becoming the third national side after England and Scotland. They joined the British Home Championship in 1883, winning it twelve times and sharing on five occasions.
After reaching the 1958 World Cup quarter-finals, Wales endured decades without a major finals appearance until Euro 2016, where they memorably made the semi-finals. They have since featured at Euro 2020, the 2022 World Cup, and Euro 2024.
Wales and England share one of football’s oldest rivalries. England won their Euro 2016 and 2022 World Cup meetings, and with over 100 fixtures played, only Scotland have faced England more often.
