Wales At The FIFA World Cup 2022

Many may have considered the Welsh national sport to be rugby, however, the country’s football heritage is rich and colourful. Over the years, Wales has produced some of football’s finest players and most memorable matches whilst holding court as the third oldest club in the world.

This year’s 2022 FIFA World Cup is another notch in history for the Wales national football team as this is the first time in 64 years that they have appeared on this grand stage. Rob Page is the current manager and hopes to lead his talented team to victory.

The Route To Qatar

The Dragons have reached their second World Cup and first for 64 years, by finishing second place to leaders Belgium in their qualifying group. Rob Page’s team won four, lost one and drew three of their eight qualifying matches to reach the play-offs before beating Austria and the Ukraine for a place in the prestigious FIFA World Cup 2022 tournament.

The Underdogs

In the sports betting world, Wales will be considered the underdogs after taking 64 years to return to this great arena. They have been placed in Group B which also includes England, Iran and the United States. However, with their top goal-scorer Gareth Bale heading up the team, anything could happen.

When it comes to betting on the World Cup 2022 it’s advisable to shop around to secure the best odds. There is no shortage of betting opportunities for the World Cup which include single match bets, top goal scorer, group winners and tournament winner.

As the tournament advances, betting odds will become tighter as games can become trickier to predict. Many of the best football betting sites will offer special bonuses and promotions to attract new bettors and this could be the perfect time to open a new account.

Experienced punters will often hold numerous accounts at multiple sportsbooks so they can analyze which is offering the best odds.

Key Players for Wales

All eyes will be on the super talented Gareth Bale (MBE), five times Champions League winner and three times La Liga winner with Real Madrid. The shining jewel in the Welsh armour has over 100 caps and 40 goals. It is rumoured that this may be the last international tournament for the Welsh striker and he’s hoping to bring football home to Cymru before hanging up his boots.

Joining Bale up front is Kieffer Moore whose physical presence gives Wales a whole new dimension. The Bournemouth striker is known for his ‘belt and braces’ approach to his centre-forward position. He is a nuisance to play against and provides opposing defenders plenty of trouble.

Aaron Ramsey is the kingpin of the Welsh midfield. Adored by his nation, Caerphilly-born Ramsey continues to deliver for Wales in the big moments and there’s no greater stage than the FIFA World Cup

2022. He set Wales on the path to victory over Turkey in Baku for the Euro 2020 competition and became the third Welshman to play for Juventus following John Charles (1958 World Cup) and Ian Rush.

Heading up defenders for the Dragons will be the reliable Ben Davies. Wales born and bred Davies is known for his creative and offensive style of play which has led to him being regarded as one of the best players in the world. He likes to play short passes and has an incredible vision of the game.
