Wales' first-ever fixture in a major tournament lines them up against 2017 European champions the Netherlands. The Dutch have had mixed form coming into this tournament but Vivianne Miedema's return to fitness has been a big boost and they also hope to have the prolific Lineth Beerensteyn available.

However, Rhian Wilkinson's Wales showed enormous fighting spirit in making it through the finals via the play-offs, midfielder Jess Fishlock epitomising their combative style. Plenty of players from both sides play in the English league, with Wales goalkeeper Safia Middleton-Patel and Netherlands defender Dominique Janssen club-mates at Manchester United, while Wales' Sophie Ingle spent seven years at Chelsea, where she teamed up recently with Netherlands' Wieke Kaptein.

Starting line-ups

Wales: Clark; Green, Roberts, Evans, Woodham; James, Fishlock, Ladd; Holland, Cain, Morgan

Netherlands: Van Domselaar; Casparij, Janssen, Buurman, Brugts; Groenen, Van de Donk, Kaptein; Pelova, Miedema, Roord

Reporters' views

Mark Pitman, Wales reporter
A moment in Welsh football history. Finally, after so many cruel defeats, Wales will take to the stage at a Women's EURO. Head coach Rhian Wilkinson has done an incredible job in making both the senior and young players in this squad believe that this is the stage they deserve to compete on. Netherlands will provide a stern test, but this is a Wales team that will put their bodies on the line for the badge. The Dragons are ready to roar!

Derek Brookman, Netherlands reporter
The Oranje Leeuwinnen didn't have a flawless run-up to the Women's EURO, with a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Germany followed by a 1-1 home draw with Scotland raising questions about the squad's readiness. However, in a 2-1 victory against Finland on 26 June returning striker Vivianne Miedema claimed her 98th and 99th goals for the national side. With their all-time record scorer fit, the 2017 champions are a much more formidable force.

Rhian Wilkinson, Wales coach: "I think [I am] just excited for the team. We had a really good session at our training base and then a couple hours here to to this beautiful city, and we're just looking forward to getting the tournament underway.

"The Netherlands are a fantastic team. I love how they move around the ball, they're very intricate. They have a lot of tactical changes in the game and I think for us it's a wonderful opportunity for us to test ourselves. against one of the the top nations."

Andries Jonker, Netherlands coach: "[Wales] have a really good team, and they deserve to be here, and we take them seriously. We are really aware of the difficulties of this match.”

"We have two question marks: Vivianne Miedema, which looks good, and Lineth Beerensteyn, who’s a real question mark.”
