Wales coach Page: This young team will want more

Wales coach Robert Page says they can build on their Euro 2020 run after elimination at the round of 16 by Denmark.

Their squad was the third youngest at Euro 2020. This was an ending but one with a nod to the future.

"They might not think that now but, when you strip all the emotion out of it, that will hold us in good stead for the future," said interim manager Robert Page.

"They're a young group and there's World Cup qualifiers around the corner in September, and we'll go again.

"We've had a taste of tournament football now and we want more of it.

"Overall in the tournament I thought the boys have been excellent and to even get to where we're at is a big achievement with the players that we've got, not playing domestic football week in, week out.

"I'm proud of them for that."
