Wales' World Cup squad for the tournament in Qatar will be announced from a welfare hall in the Rhondda. Wales manager Rob Page is returning to his hometown of Tylorstown to announce the Cymru team in front of locals on Wednesday, November 9.
Tickets to watch the announcement in person were offered to the local community and sold out in the first hour. It will be broadcast live across BBC One Wales and S4C at the same time so no-one will miss out on learning who will be making the journey to Qatar this month.
The Rhondda Valleys have strong links to Wales' last World Cup team through Jimmy Murphy. Born in Treharne Street in Pentre, Jimmy took Cymru to the quarter-finals of the 1958 World Cup. This will be Wales' first appearance in the FIFA World Cup since Jimmy led the team all those years ago.
