00:00Wales boss Rianne Wilkinson has vowed to find more playing opportunities for her players after the mind-blowing challenge of naming a Euro 20-25 squad with five out-of-contract players.
00:15Wales, the lowest-ranked team in Switzerland, finished bottom of Group D without a point, including a heavy 6-1 defeat to defending champions England, who advanced alongside France.
00:26Wilkinson, a Canadian coach, highlighted a real fitness gap between her tournament debutants and top teams like England.
00:35She stressed that international breaks are too short to build fitness and Sharpener saying we get them on a FIFA window for 10 days, so my players have to be playing.
00:46The situation is made more difficult by the fact that five players were unattached when the squad was announced, including key starter Esther Morgan.
00:58It drives me wild, Wilkinson said, as a Canadian development in the US.
01:02It's frustrating because it's not the US's priority to develop Canadians.
01:07I've got to try and find opportunities abroad, maybe Scandinavia or North America, but they have to be playing.
01:14That's the basic.
01:16Since the squad announcement, centre-back Rhiannon Roberts signed a two-year deal with Sunderland Women's Super League 2,
01:24while forward Kayleigh Barton became head coach at Saldane United.
01:29Former Wales captain Sophie Ingle is a free agent after leaving Chelsea, where she won 11 trophies but missed almost a year due to an ACL injury.
01:40She returned in Wales' opening Euro 2025 defeat to the Netherlands.
01:45Wilkinson is focused on getting players regular game time, but also on raising standards at the international level.
01:53How do we work with clubs to push physical standards?
01:55We don't have enough players right now hitting top-level benchmarks, she said.
02:01Wilkinson and her squad aspire to leave a lasting legacy inspired by England's 2022 Euro win,
02:08which spurred investments into grassroots and school sport development.
