Fishlock and Coleman enter Welsh Sports Hall of Fame

Jess Fishlock and Chris Coleman have been inducted into the Welsh Sports Hall of Fame at a gala event in Cardiff. Fishlock, Wales' record appearance maker and goalscorer, received special dispensation to enter before concluding her club career with Seattle Reign. Coleman was recognized for guiding the Wales men's national team to the Euro 2016 semi-finals during a transformative tenure as manager.

Several other figures were also honored during the ceremony, including Mickey Thomas, Alan Curtis, Brian Flynn, Nia Jones, and referee Mervyn Griffiths. Posthumous inductions were awarded to 1976 European Championship quarter-finalists Dai Davies, Leighton James, and Joey Jones, coinciding with the Football Association of Wales' 150th anniversary.
