The BBC Wales arm of UK public-service broadcaster the BBC has secured rights to Wales national football team friendly games against France and Panama next month.

The BBC will broadcast live coverage of both matches on BBC Wales television and will also stream the games online.

Wales’ match against France on November 10 will be shown on the BBC One Wales channel, while the clash with Panama on November 14 will be broadcast on BBC Two Wales.
