Exciting news, football fans! Thursday is a big day for Wales as they discover their potential path to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The next step? Navigate the thrilling play-offs!
Here’s the lowdown: The draw happens on Thursday, 20th November at 12pm in Zurich, Switzerland, and will decide the eight semi-final ties and four play-off paths.
