Wales are in the Women's World Cup qualifying play-offs for the first time ever.

They drew their final group match 0-0 against Slovenia in Cardiff to gain themselves a place - finishing second in their group.

Wales manager Gemma Grainger said she is proud to represent the nation.

"I'm so pleased for the players, they deserve everything that they get," Grainger told 大象传媒 Sport Wales.

"Now we want even more. We don't mind who we get in the draw, we don't have a preference," she added.
