Championship adalah kompetisi kasta kedua di liga Inggris, satu level dibawah EPL, kompetisi nomor wahid di liga Inggris. Para pemain timnas Inggris yang akan ditantang Wales pada kamis 16 Juni 2016 ini semuanya bermain untuk klub-klub EPL. Dari 23 pemain yang dibawa timnas Wales ke putaran final Euro 2016 fi Perancis, 8 diantara bermain di kompetisi championship.
Wales dan Inggris sebenarnya masih satu negara, yaitu United Kingdom alias UK. Karena itu wajar jika pemain-pemain Wales memilih mengadu nasib di liga Inggris, beradu kemampuan dengan pemain-pemain hebat lain dari seluruh dunia. Klub EPL Swansea City bahkan terletak di daerah Wales.
Sejumlah pemain inti Wales saat mengalahkan Slowakia masih belum mendapat jam terbang memadai di EPL. Kiper Liverpool Danny Ward selama ini lebih sering dipinjamkan ke klub divisi bawah atau ke liga Skotlandia. Kisah serupa juga terjadi pada Jonathan Williams di Crystal Palace. Bek tengah James Chester hanya tampil di 8 pertandingan di EPL bersama West Brom musim lalu.
Untunglah Wales juga punya sejumlah pemain yang cukup punya jam terbang di EPL. Sebut saja Aaron Ramsey (Arsenal), Joe Allen (Liverpool), Ben Davies (Tottenham Hotspurs), Ashley Williams (Swansea City) dan Neil Taylor (Swansea City). Bintang andalan Wales tentu saja adalah Gareth Bale dari Real Madrid.
Materi timnas Inggris tentu lebih berkualitas dan lebih merata dibanding Wales. Para pemain MU semuanya adalah pemain-pemain yang sudah berbicara dalam kancah EPL. Apalagi rata-rata pilihan utama timnas Inggris berasal dari klub besar seperti Tottenham Hotspurs, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool dan Manchester United.
Timnas wales dijuluki the dragons atau para naga. Di pihak berlawanan adalah timnas Inggris berjuluk three lions atau tiga singa. Aura emosional pada perang saudara britania ini bisa memberi motivasi ektra pada para naga untuk menghadapi pasukan tiga singa.
