RAIG Bellamy says Wales’ fans will be the ones to decide whether the showdown with Portugal - and potentially Cristiano Ronaldo - takes place at the Principality Stadium or not.

Craig Bellamy talks to the media following the Nations League draw in Brussels on Thursday
Wales were drawn against the two-time Nations League winners in Group A4 of the 2026-27 tournament on Thursday night, alongside Denmark and Norway.
Football Association of Wales chief executive Noel Mooney told the Press Association that thought had to be given to playing at the larger venue rather than the Cardiff City Stadium, with Wales’ matches at Euro 2028 set to take place at the Principality Stadium should they qualify.
Mooney said it was important Wales did not “turn up like tourists” for that tournament, and had suggested the 74,500-capacity venue could be the host if Wales drew England.
