After making it to the tournament for the first time since 1958, Wales have landed home following an early exit from this years World Cup in Qatar.
The Dragons first match saw a draw against USA, after a successful late penalty taken by captain Gareth Bale.
That draw turned out to be their only point in the match - with Cymru finally ending their campaign at the bottom of the table in the Group B standings.
If the team wanted a glimpse into the next stage, they had to take on Iran, which ended in a 2-0 loss for Wales.
This meant they had one final match to tackle if they wanted to qualify for the final 16. England's 3-0 victory knocked Wales out of the tournament and sent them home with one goal to their name.
Their flight home was marred with a slight delay - having taken off at 2.38pm (local time), according to the flight tracker website, FlightRadar24.
It was scheduled to start on its journey home at 1.30pm from Doha airport.
The plane finally touched down back at Cardiff Airport at 6.28pm - according to FlightRadar24.
Gareth Bale's men are now home and have been welcomed home by Welsh fans - following a big reaction by fans following their defeat earlier this week to England, which sealed the squad's fate.
And despite their hopes reaching fever pitch throughout their short time in the tournament - and the road to Qatar seeing excitement build as the Red Wall got behind the team - their result ended 64 years of heartache - not getting to the global stage since 1958.
