Wales football team consider name change after the World Cup

Wales will consider changing its name to Cymru on the international stage after the World Cup.

Cymru - the Welsh name for Wales - is already used by the Football Association of Wales in its internal and external communications and by staff at the governing body's headquarters in the Vale of Glamorgan.

The FAW plans to speak to various stakeholders in Welsh football about the merit of changing the country's name in international competition, while the PA news agency can reveal informal discussions have already been held with UEFA on the subject.
