  • Wales vs Finland

    Wales’ last meeting with Finland came back in September 2021 in Helsinki.

    The two sides played out a goalless draw as Harry Wilson missed a penalty.

  • Wales enjoy positive play-off memories

    Wales can take strength from their World Cup play-off success last year.

    Rob Page’s side beat Austria and Ukraine to make it to Qatar.

    Now they will have to do the same against Finland and one of Poland or Estonia.

  • Full draw

    • Wales/Finland vs Poland/Estonia
    • Bosnia and Herzegovina/Ukraine vs Israel/Iceland
    • Georgia/Luxembourg vs Greece/Kazakhstan

    Which three teams will make it to the finals in Germany next summer?

  • Wales vs Finland

    Wales missed out on automatic qualification after finishing third in their group – four points behind second-placed Croatia.

    But they are unbeaten in four competitive matches so they could be quietly confident they can reach a third successive major tournament.

    They will also be encouraged by the fact they are unbeaten in their four previous meetings with Finland dating back to 2013.

    However Markku Kanerva’s side have won six of their last nine matches and recently thrashed Northern Ireland 4-0.

  • Wales to face Finland

    So, Wales will host Finland in their Path A semi-final on March 21.

    If they win, they will take on Poland or Estonia for a place in the Euros on March 26.

  • Euro 2024 play-off draw

    In Path C, Georgia or Luxembourg will play their final at home against either Greece or Kazakhstan.

    For Path B, either Bosnia and Herzegovina or Ukraine will host the play-off final, against one of Israel or Iceland.

  • Wales will play final at home

    The last part of the draw has seen Wales drawn as the home side if they make it through their semi-final.

    Wales or Finland will host Poland or Estonia in the Path A final.

  • Path A draw

    • Wales vs Finland
    • Poland vs Estonia
  • Path B draw

    Here we go then. The Path B draw is…

    • Israel vs Iceland
    • Bosnia and Herzegovina v Ukraine
  • Path C already decided

    No draw is needed for Path C as we already know that it is the following:

    • Georgia v Luxembourg
    • Greece v Kazakhstan
  • Euro 2024 play-off draw

    Here we go then. Former Tottenham man Stephen Freund is helping out with the draw.

    A few regulatory things and we will be ready to find out the play-off draw.

  • Draw to allocate paths

    There is also a draw to determine which paths Finland, Iceland and Ukraine are in.

    One will join Poland, Wales and Estonia in Path A, with the other two in Path B with Bosnia and Herzegovina and Israel.

  • Euro play-off draw

    Not long to go now.

    Around 10 minutes until we find out who will face one another in the Euros play-offs.

  • Are the play-offs new?

    There have been play-offs for six of the last seven Euros.

    The Euro 2020 play-offs offered a different format.

    For the first time, teams had to come through more than one round and, unlike all previous editions, sides qualified to participate via the Nations League, rather than the European qualifiers.

  • When are the play-off fixtures?

    There will be six semi-final fixtures played on March 21, 2024 followed by three final matches on March 26, 2024.

    The winning teams of the finals complete the 24-team Euro 2024 in Germany.

  • How does the play-off draw work and what is the pathway?

    Three draws will be held to determine which semi-final pairing within each play-off path is given the right to host the play-off final.

    Semi-finals – Path A: Poland vs Estonia, Wales vs Finland / Ukraine / Iceland

    Semi-finals – Path B: Israel vs Ukraine / Iceland, Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Finland / Ukraine

    Semi-finals – Path C: Georgia vs Luxembourg, Greece vs Kazakhstan

    Finals – Path A: Poland / Estonia vs Wales / Finland / Ukraine / Iceland (hosts to be drawn)
