Jess Fishlock: Determined to Qualify for Uefa Women’s Euro 2025 as Likely Final Campaign

Wales women’s national football team is gearing up for their upcoming UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 qualifiers, with star player Jess Fishlock revealing that she almost quit the team after a heartbreaking defeat in the World Cup play-offs.

Fishlock, who is on the brink of reaching 150 caps for her country, opened up about her emotional struggle following Wales’ loss to Switzerland in the World Cup play-off final in October 2022. The Seattle Reign midfielder admitted that she considered walking away from the sport, but found the strength to continue after a heart-to-heart with her mother.

Now, as Wales prepares to face Croatia and Kosovo in their Euro 2025 qualifiers, Fishlock is determined to lead her team to their first major finals. The 37-year-old acknowledged that this could be her final campaign with the national team, making the qualifiers even more significant for her.

Despite the disappointment of their previous near misses, Fishlock believes that Wales can use the pain of past defeats as motivation to secure a spot in the Euros. With a tough group that includes Croatia, Kosovo, and Ukraine, Wales will need to draw on their resilience and determination to achieve their goal.

As Fishlock and her teammates take to the field at Racecourse Ground on Friday, April 5, fans will be watching closely to see if Wales can overcome their past setbacks and make history by qualifying for the Euro 2025 tournament. With Fishlock leading the charge, anything is possible for this talented and determined team.
