tour across Wales.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The Cymru shirt, which symbolises resilience and national identity, features the names of the players selected for UEFA Women&#8217;s EURO 2025.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Former Cymru captain and UEFA vice president, Professor Laura McAllister CBE, said: &#8220;The Cymru shirt is more than just fabric, it offers a badge of honour, and this national tour gives us all a moment to reflect, to celebrate, and to show every girl in Wales that they belong in football.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  To celebrate the national women&#8217;s side&#8217;s achievements, the shirt will travel to towns and cities across the country, building excitement in the run-up to this summer&#8217;s tournament in Switzerland.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The tour will include a stop in Tenby on June 22 from 10am to 6pm.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The &#8216;Ein Crys Cymru&#8217; tour honours the trailblazers who fought for the creation of the women&#8217;s national team, the current heroes, and the future generations still to come.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  For many, the Cymru shirt has become a symbol of identity, resilience, and belonging.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  In its early days, the national women\u2019s side had to borrow men&#8217;s kits.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  It wasn&#8217;t until 2019 that the players saw their own names proudly printed on the back of their shirts, a significant moment of recognition and representation.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Cymru captain, Angharad James, shared: &#8220;When I put on this shirt, it represents every woman who paved the way for us and those who fought to get us here.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;This Cymru team has earned its place on the biggest stage, and we\u2019ll wear this shirt with pride.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;This shirt belongs to all of us, and we want every person in Wales to feel part of our journey to Switzerland.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The tour also aims to celebrate the progress of the women&#8217;s game and its future.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Bethan Woolley, the FAW\u2019s women and girls\u2019 football strategic lead, added: &#8220;The Cymru shirt is a powerful symbol of how far the women\u2019s game has come and where it\u2019s going.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;The \u2018Ein Crys Cymru\u2019 tour aims to celebrate the women who wear the shirt and embed their stories in the fabric of our nation.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;The FAW will utilise this historic opportunity not only to rally support but to turn admiration into recognition, and recognition into legacy.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The &#8216;Ein Crys Cymru&#8217;
