Wales will showcase the youngest goalkeeping group at Euro 2025, with Olivia Clark leading at age 23 and 30 caps. Poppy Soper, also 23, awaits her senior debut, while 20-year-old Safia Middleton-Patel offers potential with four caps. Clark emphasizes the unique experience of being a senior at a young age and the supportive dynamic among the trio. Middleton-Patel, who has shared her autism journey, notes their close-knit team environment developed during a training camp in Portugal, highlighting their emotional connections and camaraderie.
"I'm a senior goalkeeper at 23, it is something quite rare, I have had to take a different role on."
"Even though we are young we do have a lot of experience between us, less so at club level, we've all been around camps and international football for a long time now."
"We have really built together and come together as a team, but more as a family."
"Our week in Portugal really brought us closer together, knowing each other on a personal level and enjoying being together."
