After more than 60 years of waiting, we'll find out later which 26 players will represent Wales at their first World Cup finals since 1958.

The announcement will be made in Tylorstown in the Rhondda valley where Cymru manager Rob Page spent his childhood.

Wales play their first game of the tournament on Monday November 21st against the USA.

They'll also play Iran and England in Group B.

Nick Stradling is making a documentary about Wales fans - known as the Red Wall - out in Qatar. He says the next few weeks are huge for the side - and the people of Wales. He said: "I would ask them not to underestimate the importance of this moment.

"A billion people are about to hear about Wales for the first time in their lives.

"I can tell you the first time I heard the word Cameroon was in 1990 when I was 11.

"The first time I heard the world Saudi Arabia was in 1994 when I was 14 years old and this was all because of the global reach of international football.

"I'd like the whole of Wales to consider what an important moment is for the confidence of our country."
