00:06leave a lasting legacy that will see the game attain new levels in the nation.
00:12In a nail-biting second leg of the Euro 2025 play-off final in Dublin, goals from Hannah
00:18Kane and Carrie Jones saw Wales edge Republic of Ireland 3-2 on aggregate and book their
00:23place in next summer's finals in Switzerland.
00:27Former Wales striker Ward, who retired as a player in 2023 after scoring 44 goals in
00:33105 international appearances, believes the achievement of Rhian Wilkinson's side will
00:38have a similar impact to the Welsh men's team's qualification for Euro 2016.
00:44The journey that this squad and this country has been on in terms of women's football,
00:49for it to finally happen, it's everything, Ward said.
00:52For so long we've been almost living in the shadows and we haven't quite taken that
00:57next step and this is it.
