Egyptian migrants welcome Wales fans in Qatar with sweets, chocolates, dates and tea

Wales football fans heading to watch the game against Iran in Qatar were greeted by Egyptian migrants offering sweets, chocolates, dates and tea. Around 3,000 fans in Doha for their team's next World Cup game started arriving early at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium for the 10am kick off.

And waiting for them in the blazing sun were workers keen to share a drink and some food. You can follow live updates throughout the day here. The country has a two million-strong migrant workforce, and there has been criticism in the lead up to the tournament about how they have been treated by the authorities.
