Their first ever major tournament gets way later - 5pm v Netherlands, live BBC1.

It's a proper group of death, with Wales (30th in the world and the lowest ranked team in the competition) drawn against Netherlands (11), France (10) and England (5).

Whatever happens, it's a big step forward for a team that the FAW refused to recognise between 1973 and 1993 and withdrew from qualifying in 2003 because the away trips were deemed to be too expensive!
