Watch: The day that Wales left for the World Cup
It’s the day many Wales fans thought they would never see.
A momentous day, an emotional day and a day to gladden the hearts of the Red Wall.
Relive a day which will go down in history.
From a rousing guard of honour by the Wales rugby squad, to a training session with thousands of young fans and a send off at Cardiff Airport, this was the day many never believed would come – – Cymru were finally on their way to the World Cup.
Waka Waka – we’re going to Qatar!

You’ve already made cymru proud boys, wishing you all the best go cymru go.
Win lose or draw, as long as you give it everything on the pitch, that is all we ask. Good luck.
Perfect example as to why Wales needs its media devolved. Been virtually no build up or Promotion. Atleast I haven’t seen any. Why was the Send off so underwhelming? It feels as if they snuck out of Wales.
