Wales host the Czech Republic tonight in an international friendly match just days after Gareth Bale’s stunning double against Austria.

The 2-1 win over Austria saw Wales move one game away from qualifying for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar this year.

But with the play-off final against either Scotland or Ukraine postponed until at least June, Wales are playing the Czechs in a friendly match - with the proceeds going towards the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.

The Czech Republic were defeated by Sweden in their play-off semi-final on Thursday to bring their World Cup dream to an end.

Here’s everything you need to know before the match tonight.

When is Wales vs Czech Republic?

The match will kick off at 7:45pm BST on Tuesday 29 March.

Wales played the Czech Republic twice during their World Cup qualifying campaign, winning at home and drawing away.
