Wales' footballers partied into the night with The Red Wall after their heroics against Ukraine on Sunday.
Rob Page's men earned a 1-0 win over Olexandr Petrakov's side at Cardiff City Stadium courtesy of Gareth Bale's free-kick which was deflected in by Andriy Yarmolenko. It means Wales will be playing on the biggest stage of world football for the first time since 1958. There were jubilant scenes in the stadium including a moving tribute by players towards the Ukrainian fans.
The party continued in the city centre with most of the team seemingly settling in for a proper sesh at Elevens bar on Castle Street (which is owned by Gareth Bale). Incredible footage shows teammates looking out at the crowd outside and conducting their singing.
Harry Wilson and Ethan Ampadu were seen joining in with the Red Wall on the junction of Womanby Street (alongside Elevens bar) standing on a bin to soak in the love of the fans. They were singing a version of Shakira's song Waka Waka (famously the anthem of the South Africa World Cup with the added line "we're going to Qatar".
Veteran Aaron Ramsey also came down to join the fans. He could be seen with his arm round a fan wearing an ionic bucket hat chanting "Wales, Wales, Wales".
Wales will face the United States of America, Iran and England in the group stages of the World Cup in November. The night was not just an outpouring of joy, it was also relief as Wales banished the demons of past failures in 1977, 1985, 1993 and 2017.
The passion of the fans at the celebrations showed why Wales are so successful at home as they extended their unbeaten record at Cardiff City Stadium to 17 matches.
