Wales fans throw huge party in the middle of Brussels

Wales football fans have taken over the centre of Brussels, bringing their own unique party culture to the Belgian capital ahead of Thursday night's match.

Thousands of members of the Red Wall are in Belgium for the Nations League clash, just two months before the trip of a lifetime at the World Cup in Qatar begins.

The sounds of Dafydd Iwan's Yma O Hyd and Shakira's Waka Waka, which has become a recent favourite among Wales fans, could be heard echoing through the streets of Brussels as hundreds of Welsh supporters set up camp inside, outside and around O’Reilly's Irish bar in the city centre.

The scenes were reminiscent of Euro 2016, when Wales fans endeared themselves to the people of France for their passionate and friendly conduct throughout the tournament.

The Welsh supporters were given an "outstanding contribution" award from Uefa for their part at the Euros.
