Wales women meet New Zealand in June

Kayleigh Green scored the only goal as Wales faced New Zealand in 2019

Wales meet 2023 Women’s World Cup hosts New Zealand in a friendly in Pinatar, Spain on Tuesday 28 June.

Gemma Grainger’s side are second in their World Cup qualifying group and are attempting to reach the play-offs.

Their final two qualifiers will be in September when they travel to Greece and host Slovenia.

“This is a great opportunity for us to prepare for the group stage of the last qualifying round,” said Grainger.

“This is the next step in the team’s growth. New Zealand are higher-level opponents and we want to keep that mentality.”

New Zealand, ranked 22nd in the world, will host the World Cup alongside Australia.

Kayleigh Green’s header secured it 1-0 win for Wales when the teams last met in Cardiff in June 2019.

The friendly on Tuesday 28 June (kick-off 18:00 BST) takes place at the Pinatar Arena in south-east Spain, where Wales played in the Pinatar Cup earlier in the year where they finished fourth.
