Ukrainian refugees resettled in Cardiff gathered to watch their country take on Wales in the major World Cup play-off final on Sunday. Both countries have been bracing themselves for a historic encounter at Cardiff City Stadium on Sunday, June 5, with a place at the World Cup in Qatar later this year at stake.
As well as gathering in unofficial fan zones across the city, 100 tickets were made available to refugees who have settled in Wales as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. There were emotional scenes inside the ground as the game kicked off, with some shedding tears in the stands. You can follow live Wales v Ukraine updates here.

The Ukrainian FA, with assistance from the FAW, is also believed to be selling their standard 5% allocation of tickets for the World Cup play-off final.
