Wales Women face off against Japan Women in WXV 2 Round 3 on Fri 11th October 2024 at Athlone Stadium. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 15:00. In South Africa it’s at 16:00 SAST, 03:00 NZST in New Zealand, 01:00 AEST in Australia and 07:00 EST in the US.
Wales Women won the last encounter but both teams are in the same form for their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 1 places in the rankings with Wales Women in position 11 and Japan Women in position 12, underlining just how tight this match could be.
The official squads for Wales Women vs Japan Women will become available around 24- 48 hours before kick-off. Teams can still make changes up to an hour before the match however.
