Wales

  • In the 1958 qualifying competition, all Israel's opponents refused to play against them. FIFA then decided that Israel had to play at least two matches in order to qualify for the finals. Wales were chosen among all the second-placed teams to play. Wales beat Israel in two play-off matches, and reached the finals for the first and only time.

  • Where is Wales? It is part of the United Kingdom. Check out this map.
