Wales team bus involved in crash at Euro 2025 as players left shaken and training cancelled.

Wales will face France on Wednesday night to continue their Women’s European Championship campaign, but their preparations have been hampered by a traffic mishap.

Wales’ team bus was involved in a collision while travelling to St Gallen, Switzerland, for their next Women’s European Championship match.

Wales manager Rhian Wilkinson says everyone is fine, but her players are “shaken.” The Welsh team had planned to exercise at the Kybunpark stadium in preparation for Wednesday’s match against France, but the session has been cancelled. According to BBC Sport, an ambulance was on the scene to treat the second vehicle’s driver.

A statement from the Welsh FA read: “The Football Association of Wales can announce that the Cymru National Team bus was involved in a road traffic collision while going to Arena St Gallen for their matchday -1 training session ahead of Wednesday’s UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 match against France.

“All passengers on the Cymru National Team bus and the other vehicle are safe.

The FAW’s goal has been to get the players out of the situation and back to the Cymru training camp to finish their preparations for tomorrow’s match.” “Our priority is to get them all together and away from the scene,” Wilkinson stated as she and captain Angharad James arrived at Wales’ pre-match press conference. “We’ll check in to make sure they’re all still okay.

“This is a rapidly evolving situation, therefore we are making every effort to be as clear and honest as possible. According to all sources, everyone is fine, and all we need to do now is gather them all and remove them from the area to reassess.

“We have wonderful staff and support, and we will make sure that everyone is okay. More importantly, I believe the driver of the other vehicle is fine as well.

We’ll let everyone know when we know for sure.” Wilkinson addressed the decision to suspend training: “Yeah, football is secondary, and I believe we are unsettled because we are away from the players right now, knowing that they have had to go through that. “But we have a fantastic group, and I’ve been told that everyone is alright.

We have prepared for the unexpected, which is what we may call it. We will check in with everyone and make sure they are all in a good spot and we can focus on the football again after that.”

Wales is hoping to avoid an early departure from the tournament by winning their encounter against France. They fell 3-0 to the Netherlands in their initial matchup, and end their group stage with a match against England in St Gallen on Sunday.

France, meanwhile, will go to the knockout stages if they win on Wednesday and England fails to defeat the Netherlands in Zurich.

Laurent Bonadei’s team defeated England 2-1 in their group opener and will face the Netherlands in Basel at the same time as the England-Wales encounter.
