Bellamy Backs Wales in Elite Nations League

Wales's current Nations League campaign has seen them lose their opening matches, conceding two goals against Denmark and one against Portugal without scoring. This extends their winless streak to six games in 2026 and eight matches in League A.

Despite these results, manager Craig Bellamy maintains that Wales has earned their place among Europe's elite. He emphasizes the team's prior promotion from League B as proof of their merit, stating they "earned the right to be here."

Looking ahead, Wales is set to face Norway, a team in formidable form, having reached the World Cup quarter-finals. Bellamy acknowledges the challenge posed by Norway's investment in their national team and their current "surge."

Former players have expressed mixed views on the team's performance. While some note initial positive changes under Bellamy, others suggest a plateau in results and a need to adapt tactics as opponents anticipate their style.

Denmark's manager, Brian Riemer, expressed "utmost respect" for Wales, acknowledging their strong performance in the previous Nations League campaign and their ability to trouble top teams, despite their recent defeats.
