However, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have long had the feeling that their independence in FIFA and UEFA could be endangered if they take part in the Olympic Games as a single unit.

“I haven’t heard a single word about it and never discussed it with someone.
“We want to go to Cymru and what we do.”
In addition to the boa, which looks with potential opposition from the home associations, the clubs could resist their players to play Olympic football during an increasingly overloaded calendar.

The games begin within days after the end of Euro 2028-a tournament, which is together from England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland-and a few weeks before the new domestic season.
Mooney said: “The (the Olympic Games) is the work of another, but our task is to ensure that we represent ourselves in the right way.
“On and outside the pitch we ensure that we correctly represent Cymru. That is our complete focus.”
