Reds striker Craig Bellamy has been confirmed as the next Wales captain once current skipper Ryan Giggs retires from international football on Saturday.
Giggs will win his final Wales cap in the Euro 2008 qualifier with the Czech Republic in Cardiff before handing the armband to Bellamy.
Manager John Toshack said: "Craig is something of a character, but I have complete faith in him as Wales' new captain on a permanent basis."
Bellamy first skippered Wales last October in matches against Slovakia and Cyprus when Giggs was injured.
Toshack added: "I immediately took Craig aside and told him he would be taking over when Ryan had left.
"Without a shadow of a doubt he is the right man for the job. He did it very well earlier in the season.
"He is committed to Wales and I would accept he is very vocal about things."
