Aaron Ramsey says new-look Wales can "make their own history" as they begin their quest to reach Euro 2024.
A fresh qualifying campaign starts in Croatia on Saturday before Latvia visit Cardiff three days later.
The games mark the start of a new era for Wales, who have lost Joe Allen, Chris Gunter, Jonny Williams and talisman Gareth Bale to retirement since last year's World Cup.
"It's very exciting to be part of this team," said Ramsey, Wales' new captain.
"There's so much opportunity for us. Although we are a young squad, there's a lot of young players on a high number of caps already.
