Tournament Ticket (Season Ticket) Information
Tournament ticket application forms have been sent to Gold and Junior members of the 1876 Wales
Supporters Club (WSC) from 23rd May 2012.







A Tournament Ticket is like a season ticket, which will guarantee you a ticket for each of the five
home matches during the Qualifying Campaign.

Gold (Adult) and Junior members of the 1876 Wales
Supporters Club (WSC) are entitled to apply for Tournament Tickets.

You are welcome to purchase up to 5 and they can be for both members of the WSC and non-members.

As you may be aware, the venues for all five home qualifying matches have not yet been confirmed and may not be until 3 months before each match. Therefore, we have set the ticket prices so that they fit all possible grounds – Cardiff City Stadium, Liberty Stadium, Parc Y Scarlets and Millennium Stadium.

Tournament Ticket holders will benefit from a 25% discount, when compared to purchasing ticketson a match by match basis. 

Prices are as follows*:

Tournament Ticket Price Adult £75.00 - Saving £25.00
Single Match Ticket Price £20.00

Tournament Ticket Price Senior Citizen £18.75 - Saving £6.25
Single Match Ticket Price £5.00

Tournament Ticket Price Junior £18.75 - Saving £6.25
Single Match Ticket Price £5.00

*Please note applications are subject to a postage charge

All supporters have the option to have their tickets located in any of the three following areas:
- Length of pitch
- Behind goal/corner
- Family Stand (behind goal/corner)

Tournament Ticket holders will receive the best tickets available for each match, as their tickets will be allocated first and before those fans who apply on a match by match basis.

Please note if you do not wish to take up the Tournament Ticket offer, you will be able to purchase tickets on a match by match basis approximately 2 months before each match.
If you would like to buy a Tournament Ticket but have not yet signed up to the WSC, you will need to become a member first.

There is a membership application form on the FAW website which can be printed off and posted or emailed back to this office - http://www.faw.org.uk/TicketsMembership.ink

Membership costs £10.00 for Gold (Adult) members and £5.00 for Juniors.

Scotland v Wales: photo linked from faw.org.uk2014 WORLD CUP
The Wales fixtures for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers have been agreed.

"This is such a well-balanced group that we knew everyone would be looking for an early advantage. As always, there had to be some give and take, but I am very glad that we did not have to use the June qualifying dates. All the matches are double headers for us so we need to keep our good form going now through the friendly matches that we have and on to the start of the qualifiers next Autumn and beyond." - Wales manager Gary Speed.

Wales fixtures:
Friday 07.09.2012 v Belgium (H)
Tuesday 11.09.2012 v Serbia (A)

Friday 12.10.2012 v Scotland (H)
Tuesday 16.10.2012 v Croatia (A)

Friday 22.03.2013. v Scotland (A)
Tuesday 26.03.2013. v Croatia (H)

Friday 06.09.2013. v FYR Macedonia (A)
Tuesday 10.09.2013. v Serbia (H)

Friday 11.10.2013. v FYR Macedonia (H)
Tuesday 15.10.2013. v Belgium (A).


Matches are set to begin in September 2012. If agreement cannot be reached at the meeting, it will be for FIFA to draw the matches on the set match dates.


Group A fixtures meeting set to take place on November 23 in Brussels.

Wales have been drawn in Group A for the 2014 World Cup qualifying rounds, also drawn in the same group are FYR Macedonia (43), Scotland (33), Belgium (22), Serbia (17) and Croatia (7).

*UEFA ranking in brackets


Wales' record against Group A nations.

FYR Macedonia: Wales has never played them.
Scotland: 105 meetings, the last this year in Dublin (1-3 defeat). 'Classic' matches in World Cup qualifiers in 1977 (Liverpool) and 1985 (Cardiff).
Belgium: 8 meetings, the last in 1997. The most memorable? Perhaps the 2-0 win in 1993 that featured a great free kick goal from Ryan Giggs. Three wins, one draw and four defeats.
Serbia: no meetings as a solo team, but 2 meetings when paired as Serbia & Montenegro in 2003 (two defeats)
Croatia: 2 meetings, both friendlies, the last in 2010. A draw and a defeat. info from FAW

With 53 European countries entered in the World Cup qualifying draw, teams have been drawn in eight groups of 6 teams and one group of 5.

The qualifying matches are scheduled to be played between 7 September 2012 and 15 October 2013.

The 9 group winners will qualify directly, and the eight best second-placed teams will be drawn in two-legged play-off matches to determine the other four qualifying nations.

Ranking of second-placed teams: Because one group has one team fewer than the others, matches against the sixth-placed team in each group are not included. As a result, eight matches played by each team will count for the purposes of the second-placed table.

Group fixtures meeting is due to take place in the Autumn.

updated: Sat, 30 Jul, 2011 20:57 UK.


Wales will learn their 2014 World Cup qualifying group when the draw is made in Rio de Janeiro this evening.

2014 WORLD CUP: Fixture meeting
Thursday 10th November 2011

Scotland v Wales: photo linked from faw.org.uk2014 WORLD CUP 
The fixture meeting for World Cup Group A will take place on the 23rd of November in Brussels, nations from Group A will gather to discuss and determine the fixture calendar.

The Belgium FA will host the meeting where officials from Croatia, Serbia, Scotland, Belgium, Macedonia, and Wales will be present.


There has been much talk about the calendar in Scotland where the association will try to avoid a matchup with Macedonia and other Balkan countries in the summer when the weather is extremely warm. 

This has been caused by what happened during the 2010 World Cup qualifications when Scotland lost 1:0 away to Macedonia in the scorching heat during the summer.  However, the worrgy in Scotland and the rest of Group A is that Serbia and Croatia will not be able to agree on anything due to the animosity between the two countries.  In that scenario, if an agreement is not reached, which has already occurred in Group D, FIFA will determine the calendar for the group.
