Wales striker Elise Hughes says the prospect of reaching the World Cup will fulfill a lifelong ambition but insists the focus remains on Tuesday’s play-off second leg against Albania.
Rhian Wilkinson’s side took a slim 1-0 lead into the second leg in Llanelli after going through the first leg of their play-off semi-final.
A draw would be enough to send Wales through to the next round of qualification for next summer’s tournament in Brazil.
“When you’re a kid, it doesn’t get much bigger than that,” Hughes said of playing in the World Cup.
“You dream and you’re in the garden thinking about the World Cup and you’re in the first team thinking about the World Cup.
“Now this band has a chance to do that, and that’s the most important thing for the band here and now.
“But for that we have to win the game on Tuesday. It’s the most important game ever because it’s the next game.”
