Wales are heading to the World Cup for just the second time in their history, ending a 64-year wait.
The Dragons reached the semi-finals at Euro 2016 and then the last 16 at Euro 2020 - but how will they fair in a group containing neighbours England, the USA and Iran?
Wales arrive in Qatar on a bad run of form since their playoff victory over Ukraine that sealed their spot in the tournament.
They failed to win any of their Nations League matches but scored in five of the six games, with five different players finding the net.
The formula for Welsh success in recent years has been the individualist of Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey coupled with strong defensive resilience.
Sadly though, Bale and Ramsey head into the tournament a shadow of their usual selves and Wales have managed just one clean sheet in their last 11 games.
The issue for Wales could be that they may struggle to score goals in the group.
Their opening match against the USA could be a cagey affair, and they then face Iran, who are currently ranked 20th in the world and should not be underestimated.
The final group game is against old rivals England, by which time Wales’s fate may already be known.

Gareth Bale to be Wales to scorer - boost to 9/4 from 7/4
bet365 have boosted the odds of Bale to be top scorer for Wales
At 9/4 a £10 bet would return £32.50
As you would expect, Gareth Bale is a short-priced favourite to be top goalscorer for Wales at Qatar, having bagged 40 goals for his country.
However, Bale hasn’t played much football since his switch to LAFC in the MLS, but he’s a big game player for Wales and scored the vital goal against Ukraine back in June.
Kieffer Moore is next in the betting, and he boasts a solid record for Bournemouth this season, scoring four in 15 appearances for the Cherries and has also bagged nine in 28 appearances for his country.
With the chance that Wales may not score barrel loads in the group, the best bet for top Welsh goalscorer may be unoriginal, but Gareth Bale looks like a solid bet to nab a goal or two - he’s currently subject to a bet boost from bet365, who have increased his odds to 9/4 from 7/4 on him to be the top scorer for Wales.
