Football fans in Qatar for the World Cup may be having difficulties getting their hands on a pint of beer following Fifa’s last-minute ban. But in the UK, fans are in for a treat.
Greene King has announced a free drink is in store for those who share a surname with a player in either the England football team or the Wales football team, during certain World Cup matches.
The pub chain will offer football fans a free pint, a bottle of Ice Breaker Pale Ale, or a soft drink alternative during the home nations group stages of the tournament.
Find out below which lucky fans will be able to enjoy a free pint during the World Cup.
