The World Cup in Qatar has officially kicked off as football teams battle it out to win the coveted trophy.
Wales and England are two of the teams that qualified and will be taking part in the competition.
Although competing against each other, both teams will be sporting a similar look as the two nations' captains will wear the OneLove armband during matches.

What is the OneLove armband and why is it being worn at the world cup?
The armband is part of a campaign to help promote "inclusion and send a message against discrimination of any kind”.
It was originally launched by the Netherlands but gained backing from England, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Wales- who will all wear the band.
Although the OneLove band is not directly linked to anti-LGTBQ+ laws the armbands are being worn to promote inclusivity in a country where same-sex relationships are illegal.
What channel is the World Cup on in the UK?
BBC and ITV will be sharing coverage of this year’s World Cup, broadcasting every game live across BBC1 and ITV1.
You can also catch the action on BBC iPlayer and ITV Hub.
BBC will be airing England’s first match against Iran on Monday, November 21.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
