Captain Ashley Williams believes Wales can end the country’s long wait for a major tournament appearance.
Chris Coleman’s side begin their qualification campaign for the 2016 European Championship in Andorra on Tuesday night and Williams is hopeful they can progress from a group which also includes Belgium and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
"We're aware that Welsh teams fell short in the past for whatever reason and a lot has been put on this group," Williams said.
"A lot has been said about us and we really want to be the team that lived up to that potential and finally qualified in a good style and manner.
"Welsh teams could qualify in the future but I feel for this group now the time is perfect.
"We're settled, we've been together a long time and we're really comfortable with each other going into the campaign.
"We've got a lot of players playing at a good level and in good form at the start of the season - and we want to get it down now."
Swansea skipper Williams admits it "would be the biggest achievement in my career" if Wales qualified for the expanded 24-team finals in France and they could not have asked for a kinder start.
Andorra have lost their last 44 competitive games since a goalless draw against Finland nine years ago and have failed to score in 18 competitive matches.
"We know about their records and history and understand what type of game this is," Williams said.
"But it's not something that we're concentrating on. We'll concentrate on ourselves and if we do that then we're comfortable we're going to win the game."
Andorra coach Koldo Alvarez admits he is fearful of Wales' attacking strength with more than just Real Madrid star Gareth Bale to worry about.
"We can't only be concerned about Bale because Wales have lots of good players," Alvarez said.
"They have very dangerous players so we have to approach it as a team.
"We're talking about a lot of players in the Premier League and one of the best players in the world, so the problem for Andorra is that Wales have got one of their best teams and think that they can qualify."
