Euro 2025: Wales team bus involved in accident on way to training

On their way to the training session at Arena St Gallen before their upcoming match against France, Wales’ Euro 2025 team bus was involved in an accident. The Football Association of Wales (FAW) confirmed that all players and staff on the bus were unharmed, with an ambulance present to attend to the driver of the other vehicle involved in the incident. As a result of the accident, the scheduled training session at the stadium was canceled, but there were plans for Wilkinson’s squad to train later in the day at their team base located in Weinfelden, approximately 30 minutes away from St Gallen.

Notably, head coach Rhian Wilkinson and captain Angharad James were not on the bus during the accident, as they had taken separate transportation to attend Wales’ press conference ahead of the Group D game scheduled for Wednesday. Wilkinson assured reporters during the press conference that the well-being of everyone involved was the main priority, emphasizing the need to confirm the safety of all individuals and remove them from the scene promptly. The FAW released a statement acknowledging the road traffic accident involving the Cymru national team bus en route to Arena St Gallen, reassuring that all passengers on both vehicles were unharmed. The FAW’s focus shifted towards transporting the players back to their training base to resume preparations for the upcoming match against France.

Despite the unforeseen incident, efforts were made to ensure that the team’s training regime was not entirely disrupted, with alternate arrangements being made to accommodate the situation. The quick response and coordination among the team members and support staff showcased a sense of unity and professionalism in dealing with unexpected challenges. As the players regrouped at the training base to refocus on the task at hand, the incident served as a reminder of the importance of safety measures and the resilience exhibited by the team in overcoming obstacles on their Euro 2025 journey
