The post-World Cup interest in the team remained positive despite the elimination and led to a crowd of 62,634 attending a match against England at Ninian Park, a new record crowd for Wales and a record attendance for the ground. The side were invited to tour South America in 1962, the first matches played by the team outside Europe. The side played two matches against reigning World Cup holders Brazil, losing both 3–1. The tour concluded with a 2–1 defeat to Mexico and the retirement of long-serving goalkeeper Jack Kelsey from international football. 1140:. Journalist Ian Wooldridge wrote that the Hungarian tactics were often "just inside or wildly outside the international laws of soccer". Charles scored an equaliser for Wales after 27 minutes, heading in from a corner to secure a 1–1 draw. In their second match, Wales played a Mexico side that had suffered a 3–0 defeat to Sweden in their opening game. The Welsh side entered the game as favourites but struggled to gain the advantage over their opponents. Ivor Allchurch gave Wales the lead in the first half but Mexico responded strongly and scored a late equaliser in the 89th minute with Wales having been reduced to 10 men after 850:. Before the Ireland match, Belgium had travelled to Cardiff to become the first overseas side to visit Wales for an international match. Trevor Ford scored a hat-trick in a 5–1 victory for Wales. Portugal and Switzerland also travelled to Wales in 1951, as Wales responded to their earlier defeats by winning both matches. During the following year's championship, Trevor Ford became Wales' joint-leading goalscorer when he scored a brace during a 4–2 defeat to England. Having entered the match on ten goals, his double resulted in him overtaking tying Astley's tally of twelve. 1280: 134: 427:. Although results were still disappointing, the standard of the Welsh side was thought to be improving rapidly as margins of defeat became smaller and several defeats to the English and Scottish sides between 1902 and 1905 were deemed unlucky by match reporters based on the run of play. The side also avoided defeat in an away fixture against the Scots in March 1904 after holding their opponents to a 1–1 draw. The following year, Wales defeated Scotland for the first time in the team's history when goals from Meredith, 185:(FAW) in February 1876 to finalise arrangements for the forthcoming match, being appointed its first secretary. To qualify for selection, players were required to be Welsh or to have resided in the country for at least three years. Kenrick was criticised by some in South Wales for failing to notify players in the region of the forthcoming match, instead publishing notices in London-based journals. Unperturbed, he continued with his plans and trial matches were held to find suitable players for the match. 1043:. Wales travelled to East Germany for their second game with a squad of only 12 players. John Charles was highly critical of the FAW's reluctance to travel with more than a bare minimum of players, later writing "There were more selectors than players. It was crazy. You've got to put the players first but with Wales it was the selectors first and the players second." Wales eventually suffered a 2–1 defeat to the largely amateur East Germans in the nation's first competitive fixture. 484:

1910, Wales suffered a 1–0 defeat to Scotland when Roose allowed a speculative shot into the net having had his back turned towards play, talking to a spectator.

Much of the build-up for Wales focused on John Charles' attempts to recover from injuries sustained against Hungary. Described by one reporter as having received "the most tremendous battering I have ever seen administered to a soccer player", Charles was unable to take his place in the side and was replaced by Colin Webster. Charles' absence proved costly as several chances were spurned with 3876: 887: 1420:... some of the players with more fashionable clubs were not too concerned about turning up for the less glamorous games." An incident in 1969 drew considerable criticism of the FAW when the organisation failed to book enough seats for the ten travelling Welsh players and its members. When none of the officials offered to give up their seat, the crew declared that the last person to board the craft, winger 929:, described the match as "the dirtiest game he'd ever seen". Yugoslavia travelled to Wales in September 1954 in a reverse of the two sides' fixture in 1953 and became the first foreign opposition to win in Wales, with a final score of 3–1, despite having trailed 1–0 at half-time.
