This is the shocking moment England and Wales football fans appear to clash amid Group B rivalry at the Qatar World Cup.
The ugly scenes in which chairs and punches were thrown show dozens of rival fans reportedly clash outside a bar in Tenerife as the violent incident came to light on Friday night in a video captioned: “"England v Wales pre-match in Tenerife".
A number of supposed fans involved appear to be wearing football shirts while people wearing Wales bucket hats appear to be standing in the street.
While shared on the day Wales lost 2-0 to Iran and England were held to a 0-0 draw with the USA, the footage does show the CC Veronicas strip in Playa de las Americas in Tenerife.
Filmed outside the Revolution and Jumping Jacks night club, people wearing replica football jerseys can be seen kicking and punching each other as one fans is knocked to the ground in the chaotic scenes.
The clip was shared on social media and has amassed 13 million views which can be seen below.

The two home nations will meet on the pitch tonight with Wales needing a win to stand any chance of progressing through the group stages having failed to win in their opening two games.
Meanwhile England will be hoping victory can secure first place in Group B as Iran and USA meet for the deciding fixtures.
