People who share a surname with the members of England and Wales' World Cup squads will be offered a free drink at certain pubs.
Greene King customers with one of the 50 surnames represented in the nations' squads will be able to claim a free drink. They can claim a pint, bottle of Ice Breaker Pale Ale or alternative soft drink at more than 800 participating pubs.
Drinkers have to show photo ID at the bar during a game featuring either England or Wales to get the drink. England's first game of the tournament is against Iran at 1pm on Monday (November 21), while Wales' campaign begins at 7pm tomorrow when they play USA.

Chris Conchie, head of marketing for Greene King sport, said: “Any international football tournament is a major event for fans, and since the success of the Lionesses earlier this year, all eyes are on the men’s teams this winter.
“This limited time offer is more than just a free drink, it’s a chance for us, as your home of pub sport, to provide the best environment for people to come and show their support right across the UK for our England and Wales stars as they pursue glory at the highest level of international football."
The free drinks will be up for grabs in over 800 Greene King pubs nationwide. You can search for your Greene King local and check whether they're participating in the offer during the World Cup on the pub group's website.
The World Cup will begin at 4pm today, as host nation Qatar play Ecuador. The tournament is mired in controversy, as Qatar's stance on women's rights and LGBTQ+ rights has been widely criticised, while the country has come under scrutiny for its treatment of migrant workers.
In 2021, the Guardian reported 6,500 migrant workers had died in Qatar since it won its World Cup bid.
