EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Welsh International Association Football Team in the midst of an historic moment as they prepared to take on England in the late 1890s. The team, composed of 14 players and two trainers, is shown in formal attire, donning top hats and suits, reflecting the Victorian era in which they played. Among the notable faces in this image are Evans, Williams, Jenkyns, Jones, Pryce Jones, Hughes, Evans, Meredith, Davies, Trainer, Trainer, Lewis, and Parry. The Welsh team, formed in 1876, was a formidable force in international football during this period. Though they faced England frequently, this match against their arch-rivals was particularly significant. The team's determination and skill on the field would be put to the test as they aimed to secure a victory against their more experienced opponents. Football, or soccer as it was then known, was rapidly gaining popularity in Wales and the UK during the late 1800s. The sport brought people together, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie. This photograph serves as a testament to the passion and dedication of the players and their supporters, who gathered to cheer them on in what was likely a hotly contested and closely watched match. The elegance and poise of the players, despite the formal attire, speak to their athleticism and focus. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of Victorian football and the fierce rivalries that defined the sport during this era.
