{{Wales national football team results}}
The Wales national football team represents Wales in international association football and is governed by the Football Association of Wales (FAW).
Matches played
Between 1946 and 1959 the side played 64 matches. Although the majority of these came against the other national teams of the Home Nations in the British Home Championship, Wales also began playing teams from further afield on a regular basis for the first time. Their first competitive fixture following the end of the conflict was a 3–1 victory over Scotland in October 1946.{{cite web |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesw/wal-intres.html |title=International matches of Wales |publisher=The Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation |last=Nygård |first=Jostein |access-date=2 November 2020 |archive-date=3 October 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181003202615/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesw/wal-intres.html |url-status=live }}
In 1949, Wales undertook their first European tour in which they played matches against Portugal, Belgium and Switzerland.{{harvnb|Stead|2013|pp=143–144}} Although Wales lost all three games, they won the reverse fixtures when all three nations travelled to Wales within the next two years. During the 1951–52 British Home Championship, Wales recorded their highest finish in the British Home Championship during the period by sharing the title with England.{{cite web |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesb/bhc1947-66.html |title=British Home Championship 1947–1966 |publisher=The Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation |last1=Reyes |first1=Macario |last2=Morrison |first2=Neil |access-date=2 November 2020 |archive-date=28 December 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121228114933/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesb/bhc1947-66.html |url-status=live }}
The side also entered the FIFA World Cup for the first time in the 1950 tournament, but failed to qualify for either this or the following competition in which the Home Championship was used to determine the Home Nations qualifiers. The 1958 FIFA World Cup used a randomly drawn qualifying group and, although Wales finished second behind Czechoslovakia, they qualified winning a play-off match against Israel.{{harvnb|Stead|2013|pp=165–166}} In the tournament itself, Wales drew all three of their group matches and finished tied on points with Hungary. The two sides took part in a play-off match to determine who would advance to the quarter-final,{{cite news |url=https://go.gale.com/ps/retrieve.do?tabID=Newspapers&resultListType=RESULT_LIST&searchResultsType=SingleTab&searchType=AdvancedSearchForm¤tPosition=3&docId=GALE%7CCS50551504&docType=Sports+news&sort=Pub+Date+Forward+Chron&contentSegment=ZTMA-MOD1&prodId=TTDA&contentSet=GALE%7CCS50551504&searchId=R8&userGroupName=wikipedia&inPS=true |url-access=subscription |title=Three U.K. Teams in World Cup Play-offs |newspaper=The Times |page=3 |date=16 June 1958 |access-date=2 November 2020 |via=The Times Digital Archive |archive-date=10 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210110201557/https://galeapps.gale.com/apps/auth?userGroupName=wikipedia&origURL=https%3A%2F%2Fgo.gale.com%2Fps%2Fretrieve.do%3FtabID%3DNewspapers%26resultListType%3DRESULT_LIST%26searchResultsType%3DSingleTab%26searchType%3DAdvancedSearchForm%26currentPosition%3D3%26docId%3DGALE%257CCS50551504%26docType%3DSports%2Bnews%26sort%3DPub%2BDate%2BForward%2BChron%26contentSegment%3DZTMA-MOD1%26prodId%3DTTDA%26contentSet%3DGALE%257CCS50551504%26searchId%3DR8%26userGroupName%3Dwikipedia%26inPS%3Dtrue&prodId=TTDA |url-status=live }} which Wales won 2–1.{{harvnb|Stead|2013|pp=169–171}} Wales were defeated 1–0 by Brazil in the quarter-final. The 1958 tournament remains the only time Wales have qualified for a World Cup as of 2020.
Of the 64 matches Wales played during this period, they won 18. They recorded the most wins over Northern Ireland and their precursors Ireland,{{#tag:ref|The team referred to as Ireland which competed in the Home Championship represented the Belfast-based Irish Football Association (IFA). Following the partition of Ireland, both that body and the Dublin-based Football Association of Ireland (FAI) contended that their respective national teams represented the entirety of Ireland.
