	Wales national football team - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Wales national football team's only World Cup appearance was in 1958, when they drew all the matches in their group and reached the quarter-finals, losing 1–0 to Brazil.
		John Toshack was appointed manager for the second time on 12 November 2004, ten years after he had resigned from the position after one game in charge.

		The Football Association of Wales (FAW) was formed in February 1876 in Wrexham by a group of businessmen who wanted to see a team raised to play against Scotland, and thus emulate the matches that had begun between the Scots and the English some four years earlier.
		Football in Wales continued to be dominated by the north in the early years of the FAW's existence, during which time clubs like Wrexham AFC, Oswestry Town FC and Chirk AAA FC all rose to prominence, and in 1877/78 the Welsh Cup was introduced with the initial aim of looking for players of international calibre.
		Wales competed in the FIFA World Cup qualifying competition for the first time in the 1950s, and it was during this period that Herbert Powell, the secretary of the FAW, emerged as an influential figure with the fledgling UEFA organisation.

		The Football Association of Wales said it would contest the decision by European soccer's governing body not to uphold their complaint.
		The FAW said Wales should have been given a retroactive 3-0 win and a place at the tournament starting in June because Titov, an unused substitute in the first leg, should not have been eligible to play.

	News Wales > Sport > Court dismisses Wales’ Euro 2004 appeal
		The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has dismissed the appeal filed by the Football Association of Wales (FAW) against the decision of the UEFA’s Appeals Body of 19 March 2004 rejecting FAW’s application in relation to the play-off qualifying match for the Euro 2004 between Wales and Russia.
		Further to the positive doping test of the Russian player Egor Titov (who has been suspended by UEFA for one year), the FAW requested that the first and/or second legs of this play-off match be awarded to Wales 3-0 and/or that Russia be disqualified from Euro 2004 and be replaced by Wales.
		Contrary to the opinion of the FAW, the Panel has considered that the Football Union of Russia, could not be assimilated to an “accomplice or Abettor” of Egor Titov under the terms of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations and consequently could not be sanctioned.
