Wales will play Finland at home in the play-off semi final for Euro 2024 qualification.

The winner of that tie will play Poland or Estonia at home in the final, with the winner qualifying for the tournament in Germany.

The semi final is on 21st March 2024 with the potential final on 26th March 2024.

Pretty much best result that

Possibly Iceland would have been a little easier but home for possible final.

Some of those teams in the draw.

Almost harder not to get in.

Thank god we had that decent run so we ended up in upper echelons for the nations league.

Glad we avoided Ukraine. Probably a slightly easier route than when we qualified for the World Cup. A full strength Wales must start clear favourites against Finland, and whilst Poland usually get the better of us they have really struggled recently.

Flipping heck ... when did Luxemburg become a decent side?

They always used to be the whipping boys that even we used to beat 5-0 back in the Rush/Hughes days, but they've had some seriously decent results this campaign!

I noticed that. I would imagine they are using the grandparents and residence rules to their maximum advantage. Not that we can critisize that!
