The Football Association of Wales are striving to reach a 60:40 gender balance at board level by 2027 and are "on very good trajectory" to achieve equal pay for the women’s national team, according to chief executive Noel Mooney.
The Wales Women national team came agonisingly close to consummating a history-making World Cup qualifying campaign with a first-ever major tournament appearance, but an extra-time play-off final loss to Switzerland in Zurich earlier this month dealt Gemma Grainger’s side another dose of final-hurdle misery.
Despite the defeat, Mooney said the FAW are resolute in capitalising on the unanticipated momentum garnered by the national team’s recent success to build solid foundations for a sustainable women’s game in Wales, beginning from the top-down.
