Wales U21s calls for record-breaker Anyadike and Munro
Wales Under-21s give first call-ups to record-breaking Cardiff City defender Noah Anyadike and Manchester United's Reece Munro.
Noah Anyadike and Reece Munro have been selected for Wales Under-21s for the first time, marking a record-breaking achievement for both players. The Cardiff City defender Anyadike, who is 15 years old, set a new EFL Cup record by becoming the youngest player to compete in the competition's second round against Norwich City in August.
He has also been an unused substitute in three Championship fixtures. Munro, a versatile player capable of playing as a centre-back or full-back, signed his first professional contract with Manchester United in 2025 and participated in pre-season activities. Wales Under-21s coach Matty Jones has named a squad of 23 players for the 2027 European Under-21 Championship qualifiers against Belgium and Austria.
In addition to Anyadike and Munro, senior internationals Charlie Crew, Kai Andrews, and Ronan Kpakio will also be part of the team. Wales currently sits fourth in Group I with two wins out of six games, having defeated Austria 2-0 in their previous match. The team will face top-ranked Belgium in their first qualifier on September 29th, followed by a match against Austria at the Oval in Caernarfon on October 6th.
