UNBELIEVABLE: Giant bucket hat structures to light up welsh cities and towns during world cup | History Defined

Art installations depicting the iconic bucket hats worn by Welsh football fans will light up Wales' cities and towns during this winter’s World Cup.

Addressing a meeting of Cardiff Breakfast Club, chief executive of the Football Association of Wales (FAW), Noel Mooney, said the structures, which will light up in the colours of yellow, green and red, will appear at five locations across Wales for the tournament in Qatar which starts in November, after the men’s national side qualified for the World Cup for the first time since 1958.

Mooney said: "We are going to be building five 10 feet by 10 bucket hat installations that will light up at night time during the World Cup. One will be in Central Square in the centre of Cardiff, as well as those in Swansea, Aberystwyth, Bangor and Wrexham.”
