Hundreds of Wales fans gathered at the Welsh bucket hat that has appeared in the centre of Qatar's capital city Doha ahead of the game against Iran. The giant hat - part of Wales football fans' unofficial uniform – was the focal point of celebrations ahead of Friday morning's game.
Fans have been getting together to get the passion building, singing Welsh anthems and dancing in the hot sun before heading to the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium for the 10am kick off as Wales continue their first World Cup campaign for 64 years. You can follow live updates throughout the day here.
Wales legend Dafydd Iwan has also been giving Welsh fans a moment they'll never forget by turning up to lead a rousing rendition of Yma o Hyd on the streets of Doha. The singer is in Qatar supporting Wales after a whirlwind few months which has cemented his iconic status. The Barry Horns also took a Welsh youth choir to sing for the crowds who had gathered.
