At around five to seven on Monday 21 November, Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau will be heard at a World Cup for the first time since 1958.
By stepping onto the field at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium, the Welsh players will emulate Jimmy Murphy's heroes as they represent their country in the world's biggest football championship.
Every Wales game will be shown live on S4C - the home of Welsh football, with the channel turning red to mark this historic occasion.
