Wales (Cymru) take on Poland in the UEFA European Football Championship 2024 play-off final tonight (Tuesday, March 26) at Cardiff City Stadium.
The winner will earn themselves a place in the Euro 2024 draw with the tournament set to take place in Germany across June and July.
Wales beat Finland 4-1 last Thursday (March 21) to book their spot in the play-off final while Poland defeated Estonia 5-1.
“We know when we go out in front of those fans that’s our brothers, our sisters, our friends, our family. They are the people in the crowd. If we weren’t playing, we’d be in there as well."
— Wales 🏴 (@Cymru) March 26, 2024
