WALES aim to capitalise on England’s Euro 2022 success with a record crowd against Slovenia next month.
The Football Association of Wales revealed there has been a surge in ticket sales since the Lionesses’ 2-1 final triumph over Germany at Wembley on Sunday.
And the attendance has already surpassed Wales’ current record of 5,455 – set against Estonia last October.
But the FAW want to make more history and have set an ambitious 10,000 crowd target for the Cardiff City clash on September 6 as they bid to book a World Cup play-off spot.
Chelsea’s Sophie Ingle is a team-mate of England stars Millie Bright and Fran Kirby.
