Wales and America are locking their horns in the second match of group 'B' under the Qatar World Cup 2022 on Monday night. 

The match will start at the Ahmed Ali Stadium tonight (12:45 am on Tuesday). 

Wales national team, which are taking part in the World Cup tournament for the second time after 64 years, will be captained by Gareth Bale.

Wales, which made a debut in 1958, had reached the quarter-final during that period. 

"It is a great honor for me. I am representing my country. We have got to do something historic for our country," said Gareth Bale, the captain of the team.

Gareth Bale and Daniel James are promising players for Wales in this World Cup 2022. 

Similarly, America have completed their 11th round of the World Cup football journey after playing a World Cup Match with Wales. 

America are not participating in the World Cup match since 2014. They skipped World Cup 2018.
