Wales national football team home stadium

This is a list of stadiums which have hosted Wales international football matches. To date, fifteen grounds have been used to host Welsh home matches.

Wales played their first home international on 5 March 1877 at the Racecourse Ground in Wrexham, losing 2–0 to Scotland. As a result, the Racecourse Ground is officially recognised as the oldest football ground in the world that continues to host international matches, ahead of Hampden Park in Glasgow which did not host its first match for another 27 years, and has hosted more Welsh international matches than any other ground.

To date, Wales have played four home matches in England, the first in 1890 when they hosted Ireland at the Old Racecourse in Shrewsbury. The remaining three matches were all held at Anfield in Liverpool. The first match moved to Anfield was against Scotland on 12 October 1977 after severe crowd trouble following a qualifying match for UEFA Euro 1976 between Wales and Yugoslavia the previous year. The final two matches were played when, due to the large demand of travelling away fans, a game against Italy was moved to Anfield in 1998. The following year, Denmark complained to UEFA that they should receive the same treatment in order to bring their planned 4,000 fans who could not be accommodated at the proposed venue, Ninian Park. The decision to move the tie was slammed by Wales' assistant manager Graham Williams, who labelled it as "shocking", and Football Association of Wales president John Owen Hughes who commented "they are entitled to 10 per cent (of a stadium's capacity), not a set figure". Despite Wales' resistance to the move, the match eventually went ahead at Anfield.
