It's one of the best in the world as far as I'm concerned. I have some Welsh and a lot of Scottish heritage and I love both anthems. But have you heard the unofficial Welsh anthem "Yma O Hyd" ---"We're Still Here"? Give this a listen!

Here's an article about it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/11/18/wales-world-cup-yma-o-hyd/
