To Chris Coleman

Many congratulations on securing Wales’ first appearance at the UEFA European Championships since 1976. With the rapid approach of the tournament, I wanted to wish the best of luck to both yourself and the team.

Qualification for the tournament is a remarkable achievement, and both myself and the people of Wales stand behind you in full support. I am thoroughly looking forward to your first match against Slovakia, and am delighted to have the opportunity to attend your match against England at Stade Bollaert-Delelis.

As a nation, Wales punches well above its weight, and I anticipate a stunning performance throughout the tournament.

Wishing you success throughout the Championships.
