WALES will play Finland in their Euro 2024 play-off semi-final.
If Rob Page's side win that encounter they will play Poland or Estonia for a place in the Euros.

A potential final clash with Poland is also a cause for concern as Wales have only beaten them once in ten attempts – and that came in 1973.

While in Path C two previously confirmed ties see Georgia vs Luxembourg and Greece vs Kazakhstan battle it out for a place in Germany.
The semi-final ties will take place on March 21 with the three finals set for March 26.

In fact, some fans felt they were robbed of a place after VAR failed to award them a penalty against Italy – a match they drew 0-0 which meant they missed out on second place due to goal difference.
