Transport for Wales is putting on extra trains to help the Red Wall get to and from Cardiff for a crucial Wales match.

The World Cup qualifier against Belgium will take place at Cardiff City Stadium on Monday, October 13, 2025, with thousands of supporters expected to travel to the capital.

To accommodate the crowds, Transport for Wales (TfW) has increased capacity and adjusted train services on key routes and will run a later service to North Wales after the match.

Georgie Wills, customer delivery & events planning manager at Transport for Wales, said: "We continue to work closely with the FAW and understand that the fixture against Belgium is one of the most important games of the World Cup qualifying campaign.

"We’re doing everything we can to accommodate the Red Wall so they can arrive on time to cheer on the team and get home safely."

Fans are advised to check the latest timetables through the TfW website or app, which will include all additional post-match services.

The nearest railway station to the stadium is Ninian Park, about a five-minute walk from the ground.

Supporters are being reminded that trains will be busy and are advised to arrive at the station promptly after the final whistle.

Fans are also encouraged to purchase their tickets in advance through the TfW app or website.

Full timetable information is available on the Transport for Wales website.
