Aaron Ramsey backs Wales to qualify for the 2014 World Cup finals.

Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey has claimed that Wales can make it to the 2014 World Cup finals.

Although the side recently failed to qualify for Euro 2012, the national captain feels that winning their last three qualifiers for the tournament stands them in good stead for the international competition.

"We definitely want to be going on that plane to Brazil so our target is definitely to qualify," Ramsey told Arsenal Player.

"I think we had a good end to the Euro qualifiers but in the beginning I think we lost our first four. On that form you're never going to qualify for a tournament, but then Gary Speed took over and there's been a big change.

"The players have adapted to that and have showed what they are actually capable of doing in the second half of the qualifying campaign. In the end we only came within three points of qualifying. We've had a really good three months that we can take a lot of positives from and go into the World Cup qualifiers believing we can get through."

Wales will have to face off against Belgium, Croatia, Macedonia, Scotland and Serbia in next year's qualifiers.
