The Dubai pub that could be in the middle of Wales filled with fans singing Yma O Hyd

Celebrations were in full swing this weekend as the Red Wall headed to Dubai before Cymru's first match of the World Cup. And a wonderful video posted on social media shows hundreds of Welsh fans singing Dafydd Iwan's Yma o Hyd, which has become a fan favourite over recent months, at a pub in Dubai on Sunday evening.

The Red Dragons will kick-start their campaign against the USA at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium in Qatar on Monday evening, with kick-off expected to take place at 7pm. This is the first time Cymru has competed in the World Cup in 64 years.

Manager Rob Page believes England and the USA are the favourites to progress from Wales' World Cup group B. Bookmakers have Gregg Berhalter's side as the slight favourites to emerge victorious.
