Wales will play a friendly against Gibraltar in Portugal on Thursday, 6 June as part of their preparations for the next Nations League campaign.

The game will be played at the Estadio Algarve, with the kick-off time to be confirmed.

Rob Page’s squad will go straight from the Algarve to Slovakia, who they meet in a friendly on Sunday, 9 June.

Wales’ opening Nations League fixture is at home to Turkey on Friday, 6 September.

Page’s men faced Gibraltar in Wrexham last October, when a youthful Wales side won 4-0.

They meet Slovakia at the Anton Malatinksky Stadium in Trnava (19:45 BST) in what will be a pre-Euro 2024 warm-up for the hosts.

Wales missed out on reaching the tournament after losing their play-off final against Poland on penalties in March.

They are now building towards the 2026 World Cup, with qualifying beginning in spring 2025.

After the Nations League opener against Turkey, Wales travel to face Montenegro on 9 September.

They will be away in Iceland on Friday, 11 October, with the reverse fixture against Montenegro the following Monday.

Wales then travel to Turkey on Saturday, 16 November before concluding the group at home against Iceland on Tuesday, 19 November.
