Wales fans will get the opportunity to re-live the greatest football journey in the nation’s history this summer as BBC Cymru Wales replays every Wales match from UEFA Euro 2016.
With Euro 2020 on hold for another year due to the coronavirus pandemic, BBC Wales viewers will have the chance to relive every match from their memorable campaign in France four years ago, when Chris Coleman guided his side to the semi-finals before defeat to eventual tournament winners Portugal.
The matches will be replayed across BBC One Wales and BBC Two Wales this summer, from 7 June to 27 June.
BBC Wales’ Euro 2016 replays are part of BBC Sport’s Euros Rewind series, which will air on BBC TV across the UK from 6 June, where football fans will get to watch the most memorable matches from the European Championships in recent history.
Euro 2016 captured the imagination of the nation, and Wales will once again be able to unite in awe of memorable goals such as Hal Robson-Kanu’s stunner against Belgium.
Fans will get to sing along to the anthemic ‘Don’t take me home’, enjoy Joe Ledley’s dance moves and relive every moment of the campaign that put Welsh football on the world stage.
To remind the nation of this memorable summer, Don’t Take Me Home, a film documenting the incredible story of the Wales National team’s journey through the tournament, will also be broadcast ahead of the games on BBC One Wales.
The film provides unique and up close chance to experience what the tournament was like for those at the heart of the campaign.
Commenting on Wales’ Euro 2016 campaign, BBC Wales football correspondent, Rob Phillips said:
“The whole qualifying campaign was an epic journey to the nation’s first championship finals since the World Cup of 1958. But in France, Chris Coleman’s squad helped us all embark on an odyssey none of us could ever have imagined ahead of the historic opening win against Slovakia.
“Nobody knew when it would end – but players, fans and media just relished every moment as Bale, Ramsey and co. wrote their own chapter in sporting folklore, with success which touched the national psyche in a way football had never previously done in Wales.”
BBC Wales’ re-run of Euro 2016 matches follows on from its weekly series of Welsh sporting replays, featuring classic football and rugby union matches from the BBC archives.
All of BBC Wales’ Euro 2016 replays will be available to watch live and on-demand via the BBC iPlayer across the UK, as well as on the BBC Sport website.
