The Wales fans ditching Qatar for Tenerife to watch World Cup
When the tournament began in Qatar, Ms Evans said she felt "a little bit gutted" not to be there but as soon as she saw fans having such a good time in Tenerife, she said it was "all I wanted."
"Seeing the photos and the videos it does look incredible out there but I'm literally having the best time here."And that bar on Monday night, if you closed your eyes when we were singing the national anthem it was like you were in that game, and that was good enough for me."Kelly Spiers, from Ballymena in County Antrim, owns two adjacent bars in Playa de las Americas in Tenerife where a lot of the Wales fans watched the USA game.
Ms Spiers hadn't seen fans from many other countries but said there are people in Wales shirts and red bucket hats "everywhere."Kelly Spiers says having the Wales fans flood her bars has been "amazing, just epic""And when they scored the penalty it was just wow, it was unbelievable, it was really, really emotional.Ms Evans said most travelling to Tenerife had rejected Qatar on cost grounds, but others were motivated by social issues too.
"I think know what they need to do, and they know that they've got everyone behind them, no matter where they are: Wales, Tenerife or Qatar."
