The draw for the World Cup play-offs took place on Thursday afternoon with Wales, the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland discovering their opponents. All three nations failed to secure automatic qualification for next summer's tournament, meaning they will need to go through an extra stage. England have already booked their World Cup spot, while Scotland ensured their participation with a dramatic victory over Denmark earlier this week.
There are 16 teams in the play-offs, consisting of 12 qualification group runners-up, plus four additional teams that qualified via the Nations League. Eight semi-final matches will be played in March before four subsequent finals, one for each path, will determine who makes it to the World Cup next year.
Wales will face Bosnia and Herzegovina in their semi-final, with the single-legged match set to be played in Cardiff. They were drawn into Path A, meaning they could be on course to battle Italy in the final.
Meanwhile, the Republic of Ireland will play Czechia and could go up against Denmark in the Path D final, provided both sides make it through their first games.
Northern Ireland were handed the toughest draw of the trio, with Italy set to host them in the semi-finals. They will be massive underdogs against the Azzurri but if they make it through, there is a chance they could face Wales in the Path A final.
The fact they were drawn into the same path means that only one of Wales and Northern Ireland can make it to the World Cup next summer.
The expanded tournament will feature 48 teams and include a handful of countries who have never played at a World Cup before, including the likes of Curacao, Haiti and Cape Verde.
