Olympic champions Emma Finucane and Matt Richards, former world indoor champion Jeremiah Azu and Paralympic sprinter Olivia Breen will compete for Team Wales at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games between 23 July and 2 August.

The 114 athletes include Paralympic champion Aled Sion Davies and world silver medal artistic gymnast Ruby Evans.

The team will compete across 10 different sports with 66 female and 48 male athletes with ages ranging from 16 to 73 years old.

Twenty-two Para-athletes are selected with Glasgow hosting more para-events than in any other Games.

"This group represents the very best of Welsh sport - dedicated, ambitious and proud to wear the red jersey," Team Wales' chef de mission Gethin Jones said.

"We are building on the legacy of 2014 with real belief, and I couldn't be prouder to be part of this team.

"I can't wait to see what they achieve in Glasgow."

Former Wales and British and Irish Lions fly-half Gareth Davies was appointed Chair of Team Wales in April 2023.

"Announcing the team is always a proud moment, not just for the athletes, but for everyone involved in making this journey possible," he said.

"Over the past few years, an enormous amount of work has gone into the planning and delivery behind the scenes, and this team is a reflection of that collective effort across Welsh sport.

"I am very much looking forward to attending the Games and supporting the team as they represent Wales with pride on the world stage."

Wales' squads for netball and 3x3 wheelchair basketball are yet to be finalised, but the rest of the athletes who will represent Wales this summer are listed below.
