Brennan Johnson, who is about to reach the milestone of his 50th match for Wales, looks forward to participating in more major tournaments.

With another international break approaching, 25-year-old Brennan Johnson will reach the milestone of his 50th appearance for the Welsh national team. Johnson stated that he has always cherished the opportunity to wear the national team shirt and hopes to participate in many more important matches with the "Red Dragons."

The 2026/27 UEFA Nations League will enter its sixth round of matches, with Wales traveling to Norway for an away game.

Brennan Johnson, who plays for Everton in the Premier League, said: "The thought of the European Championship being held here is special enough. We have a very good squad, with many players playing at a very high level. Everyone knows that this major tournament is coming, which constantly motivates us to train hard and show our true strength."

Brennan Johnson, a Nottingham native, played for England's youth teams before choosing to represent Wales in 2018. Notably, Johnson participated in the 2022 World Cup. However, Wales failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup finals after being eliminated in the playoffs.

Brennan Johnson shared, "When I first arrived at the Welsh national team, I immediately felt great and never looked back. I cherish every opportunity to play for the national team, and before I knew it, the milestone of my 50th appearance was approaching."

“Participating in the World Cup was the best moment of my career. Although the result did not meet our expectations, I had dreamed of playing in the World Cup since I was a child. We qualified for the World Cup through the playoffs, which was really special. Making my national team debut and scoring my first national team goal were all important moments worth remembering.”

Brennan Johnson continued, "The team has real confidence, and I think that confidence comes from the achievements of the senior Welsh players. Even before I played for Wales, the senior players in the team had already achieved great results in the European Championship, which makes people believe that anything is possible."

“We hope to continue this momentum and keep improving the team’s level as much as possible. This is certainly not easy, because Wales has had some incredible players in the past, and it is really difficult to reach their level. But as a team, we hope to do our best.”

In addition, Brennan Johnson added, "I certainly have a lot of room for improvement and I'm looking forward to the next few years. I'm very happy with what I've accomplished in football, but at the same time, I hope to win more, especially bringing honor to Wales."
