Wales head coach Rhiannon Roberts delivered an impassioned post-match speech after her side’s 4-1 loss to France in UEFA Women’s Euro 2025, highlighting the pride she felt in her players for showing courage and fighting spirit on the world stage.
Despite the defeat, Wales made history with their first-ever Euro goal scored by none other than veteran Jess Fishlock and Roberts made it clear that playing with heart means more than sitting back to avoid a narrow loss.
She praised the team’s massive performance improvement from the opening match, reflected on the impact of young goalkeeper Safiya Middleton-Patel stepping up in her fifth cap, and reminded fans that bold choices and mistakes are part of the learning curve at this level.
Wales may be considered underdogs, but they’re here to play, grow, and inspire.
And in Roberts’ words “there’s no reason not to go for it”
