Wales begin their 2018 World Cup Qualifying campaign on Monday night against Moldova at the Cardiff City Stadium.

After the success of Euro 2016, Chris Coleman's side will be looking to break new ground in qualifying for back-to-back international tournaments.

With even more interest surrounding the national team following their exploits in France, Wales will go into their latest attempt with more expectation than ever before.

Find out all the details you need to know ahead of Wales' qualifying campaign below:

Who are Moldova?

Hardly a heavyweight of world football, Moldova currently sit at 165th in the FIFA World Rankings - 154 places below Wales.

Since playing their first international in 1991 following the break-up of the Soviet Union, Moldova have failed to qualify for a major international tournament in all 11 of their attempts.

Current manager Igor Drobvolski is in his second spell in charge, having led Moldova to a high of 37 in the rankings back in 2008.

However, their recent form makes for unpleasant reading. In their last 18 matches, they have won just two - both against fellow minnows Andorra.

Star midfielder Artur Ionita was linked with Swansea in the summer and could be key if Moldova are to pull of a shock.

Should Wales be worried?

Not really. Wales are riding the crest of a wave in football right now having captured the nation's imagination and with Galactico Gareth Bale named in the squad, they should have too much for their Eastern European opponents.

However, Chris Coleman's men have occasionally struggled against sides they should put away and Moldova will likely be happy to sit back and play for a point.

And remember the Euro 2016 Qualifying campaign nearly got off to a sticky start as Wales laboured to a 2-1 win over Andorra in their opening match.

When exactly is the match?

The match will kick off at the Cardiff City Stadium at 7:45pm Monday September 5.

Why is it being played at Cardiff City Stadium and not the Principality Stadium?

Despite the growth of interest surrounding the Wales side, the FAW have resisted the temptation to move from Cardiff City Stadium to the much larger Principality Stadium.

Even though the home of Welsh rugby seats over twice as many as the Cardiff City Stadium, Coleman and his side will start their campaign in the cauldron-like atmosphere which was ever-present during their Euro 2016 qualifiers.

The sound of 30,000 Welsh fans signing Mae Hen Wlad fy Nhadau unaccompanied in the home of the Bluebirds has become one of the iconic events of Wales' current rise.

Can I still get tickets?

So far, tickets have only been available to fans with World Cup Gold or Junior memberships.

Tickets go on sale to the general public from 10am on Wednesday August 31, subject to availabilty.

They can be booked from the FAW ticket website or by ringing the Cardiff City Stadium Ticket Office on 0845 345 1400 or the FAW booking line on 0844 248 1876.

Who else do Wales face?

Also in our group are Austria and Republic of Ireland, who were both at the recent European Championships.

Martin O'Neil's side reached the last 16 before going down to hosts France while a fancied Austria side crashed out in the group stages.

Wales will also face Serbia and Georgia in their group, who sit 47th and 118th in the rankings respectively.

What do Wales need to do to qualify?

The winner from each group will qualify directly for the World Cup.

Then the eight best runners-up from the nine groups will advance to the play-offs, where they will be drawn into four home-and-away ties.

The winner of each tie will then qualify, meaning 13 European sides will qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
