Wales face Nations League relegation threat after Norway defeat
Craig Bellamy's Wales side are fighting to avoid relegation after a 3-1 defeat to Norway, though play-off hopes remain for the top tier.
Wales suffered a difficult 3-1 defeat against Norway at the Ullevaal Stadion, leaving Craig Bellamy’s team facing the threat of relegation from the top tier of the UEFA Nations League. Despite a bright start and several opportunities for Daniel James, the visitors were unable to contain the hosts after the break.

Antonio Nusa opened the scoring, followed by a goal from Andreas Schjelderup. While David Brooks provided a glimmer of hope with a fine finish, a late Erling Haaland penalty confirmed the result for Norway. Wales now conclude their group campaign against Portugal, with their focus shifting toward a potential relegation play-off in March to maintain their League A status.
