Yeah. The last time Wales played a World Cup was 1958, when they qualified to the Round of 8, but they lost 1:0 to Brazil. A 17 year old boy whose nickname was Pelé scored his first goal in World Cups https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzyApnVJLyE&t=69s
Fun fact: only 16 national teams played the 1958 World Cup. All the 4 UK teams were there: England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland. 25% of the national teams in the 1958 World Cup in Sweden were british
