Wales targeting more World Cup play-off success to earn history

Four years ago, Wales followed a similar path to the one they are treading now as they qualified for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar via the play-offs.

Then it was a 2-1 semi-final victory over Austria, and then a nerve-wracking, emotional 1-0 win over Ukraine in the play-off final. For both matches, Wales enjoyed home advantage in Cardiff, and in 2026, that pathway remains the same - home advantage.
