433: 785:, opened in 1999 at a cost of £121 million, including a contribution from the FAW. With a capacity of 74,500, the stadium immediately became the new home venue for Welsh football matches. The FAW signed an initial 21-year lease to play at the ground, based on three matches per calendar year at a cost of £100,000 per fixture. The Millennium Stadium hosted its first international match on 29 March 2000 against Finland which, due to the new stadium's increased capacity, set an attendance record for a Wales international match of 65,614. Two months later, Wales played a friendly against Brazil which was the first home match attended by more than 70,000 spectators. 298:
letter of complaint to the FAW and requested a meeting with the governing body. The decision stood, however, and a crowd of 6,000 witnessed a 1–0 loss to Scotland. Wales's matches were becoming popular, and Bangor sought to bring the side back by offering purpose-built stands at the town's cricket ground to host the 1904 match with Ireland. Gate control was an issue again as large numbers of spectators watched the game for free from nearby vantage points, including the roof of a local school and along a road overlooking the ground. Bangor made a loss of £17, despite a crowd of over 4,000, and has not held an international match since then.
515:. The team's World Cup success attracted more interest in the side, and in October 1959, a year after the tournament, a crowd of 62,634 watched a 1–1 draw with England at Ninian Park. The attendance set a record for a Wales home international which stood for more than 40 years, and was the highest attendance ever recorded at Ninian Park. High attendance figures continued into the early 1960s, with the next visit by England in 1961 attracting a similar crowd of 61,566. The steady decline in fortune by the side during the mid-1960s, however, resulted in crowd numbers falling dramatically. A 4–1 victory over 892: 22: 913: 774: 922: 657:
Wales's 3–0 victory over Northern Ireland in May 1982, which set a post-war low-attendance record of 2,315. The British Home Championship was discontinued in 1984 after 100 years, with falling crowd numbers cited as a main reason. The decision cost the FAW one of its main revenue streams, as the organisation lost about £80,000 in TV broadcasting rights alone. Wales's final match in the competition was a 1–1 draw with Northern Ireland at Vetch Field, which was attended by 7,845 fans.
1482: 766:, the final international match at the ground which hosted 88 matches in 88 years. The victory over Belarus saw the Welsh team lobby the FAW to play the match against Denmark at Ninian Park. Although the FAW agreed, Danish authorities complained to UEFA that they should receive the same treatment as the Italians to attract their planned 4,000 fans, who could not be accommodated at Ninian Park. The decision to move the tie was criticised by Wales assistant manager 690:. Swansea City also had severe financial problems which left Vetch Field in disrepair, and the ground hosted its final international fixture on 19 October 1988 against Finland. Wales's penultimate 1980s match, against West Germany, revived a move to the National Stadium. The match, the first international in Britain played in an all-seater stadium, ended in a goalless draw. It raised more than £250,000 for the FAW, and the venue was praised by the players and manager 1238: 343: 1767: 1749: 1720: 1702: 1676: 1658: 1629: 1611: 1582: 1564: 1532: 1514: 1270: 143: 931: 1335: 623: 849:, Wales's first major international tournament since 1958. Although the Cardiff City Stadium remained the main venue for the national side, Wales played Spain in October 2018 at the Millennium Stadium due to ticket demand exceeding the Cardiff City Stadium's capacity; this increased the likelihood of the Millennium hosting future matches against sides likely to draw larger crowds. Wales played a friendly against 1047: 904: 1414: 1317: 1126: 1079: 1029: 1464: 1432: 1288: 1173: 1097: 1144: 4684: 5366: 1382: 1364: 1220: 5342: 1191: 5330: 5354: 229:(FAW), the country's governing body for the sport, believed that holding the match at the Old Racecourse would attract a larger crowd. Although the match drew a significant number of fans, its attendance of 5,000 was only equal to that at previous fixtures at the Racecourse Ground. Matches returned to Wrexham until 1892, when Wales's opening fixture of the 673:(WRU) had initially agreed to the deal, it eventually backed out due to concerns about possible hooliganism. The FAW then chose Ninian Park, which could accommodate 12,000 more spectators than the Racecourse at the time. Needing a win, Wales drew 1–1 with the Scots and failed to qualify. The match was overshadowed by the death of Scotland manager 770:, who called it "shocking", and FAW president John Owen Hughes, who said: "They are entitled to ten per cent (of a stadium's capacity), not a set figure". Despite Wales's resistance to the move, the match was played at Anfield and the Danes won 2–0. It attracted only 10,000 spectators, despite Denmark's claim that it had a large following. 714:. Although Cardiff City threatened legal action over the decision, saying that the club could "meet any deadline" to complete the work, the game went ahead at the National Stadium. Matches became more frequent at the new venue, and a fixture against Germany attracted more than 37,000 fans; only 3,656 had attended Wales's previous match, against 610:

Large numbers of fans attended international matches in the early post-war era, with the British Home Championship now also being used as qualifying for the 249:. Inexperienced security personnel were unable to manage a crush which developed in the waiting crowd, resulting in at least one serious injury when a boy suffered broken ribs. The crush forced stewards to open the gates to the ground and allow most of the spectators in without paying, losing the FAW significant gate revenue. 564:
