Ahead of Cymru’s key 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup qualifiers against Greece and Slovenia, the Football Association of Wales has teamed up with Welsh rap artist Juice Menace to release exclusive track, ‘FOR HER’.

Speaking about the collaboration, Juice Menace said:

 “I feel honoured to be asked to work on this song, I hope I have created a soundtrack that can empower young girls and women across Wales and beyond, it really is a track ‘For Her’. Everything around the team and women’s football in Wales at the moment is really exciting and I’m so happy to be involved. The team has been so inspiring throughout the campaign, and I hope the track can help take Cymru and the Red Wall to the next level in this qualifying campaign when they face Greece and Slovenia.”

This autumn the Cymru women’s football team will face Greece and Slovenia in 2 crunch World Cup qualification matches.  They will first travel to Greece to face Volos on Friday 2 September (KO 18:00), before a final qualifier match against Slovenia on Tuesday 6 September,(KO 19:45) at the Cardiff City Stadium.  The team will need to take 4 points from both games to qualify for the World Cup to be held in Australia and Newzealand in summer 2023 – the first time the tournament has been co-hosted by 2 countries.
