Euro 2024 play-off draw LIVE! Latest updates as Wales handed favourable path to Euros

Euro 2024 play-off draw LIVE!

Wales will host Finland in a home semi-final in the Euro 2024 play-offs. The match will take place at the Cardiff City Stadium on March 21, with the winners of the one-legged clash heading through to the final in Path A.

If Wales were to get past Finland, then Rob Page's side would also have home advantage against either Poland or Estonia on March 26 for a place in Germany next summer, as they look to reach their third consecutive major tournament. Elsewhere in the play-offs, Ukraine must beat Bosnia and Herzegovina and then either Israel or Iceland if they are to qualify for the Euros. In the final section of the draw, Greece, winners in 2004, host Kazakhstan in the semi-finals and will travel to face Georgia or Luxembourg in a final should they get through that matches.

Path A

Wales/Finland vs Poland/Estonia

Path B

Here we go!

11:11 , Matt Verri

We've had a voiceover explaining how the draw works... and now Giorgio Marchetti is doing exactly the same thing. Really emphasising their message.

The draw is about to start, don't worry...

11:06 , Matt Verri

Steffen Freund is the special guest for the draw. Of course he is, sure he would have been the first guest for everyone.

He's asked what it takes to make it through the play-offs, having never had to do so with Germany.

Good news for fans of montages...

11:04 , Matt Verri

We've had our first montage, looking at all the teams that will take part in the play-offs. It won't be the last.

While that goes on, here's a reminder of the three paths and the possible draws.

Path A: Poland vs Estonia, Wales vs Finland / Ukraine / Iceland

Path B: Israel vs Ukraine / Iceland, Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Finland / Ukraine

Path C: Georgia vs Luxembourg, Greece vs Kazakhstan

Here we go!

11:01 , Matt Verri

The fun has started in Nyon.

We're up and running with the draw ceremony. I make no promises over when the actual draw will happen.

Wales have done it before...

10:56 , Matt Verri

Wales know what it takes to make it through the play-offs.

They did just that to qualify for the World Cup last year, beating Ukraine in a nervy encounter in Cardiff.

They could well be drawn with Ukraine again this morning...

San Marino can't stop scoring

10:50 , Matt Verri

Sadly San Marino did not quite do enough to earn a spot in the play-offs.

Ten matches, ten defeats... not really the kind of form that secures qualification.

But, they are on a record-breaking run of three straight matches scoring a goal. Euro 2028 watch out.

Not long now!

10:45 , Matt Verri

Draw will be getting up and running in about 15 minutes.

Reminder that Path C is already set, those semi-finals have been confirmed. Georgia vs Luxembourg, Greece vs Kazakhstan... one of those four teams will be at the Euros.

Pots taking shape

10:39 , Matt Verri

So, we have 21 of the 24 teams at Euro 2024 confirmed.

Pots 1, 2 and 3 are set. The three teams making it through the play-offs will be added to Pot 4.

The main draw for the Euros takes place on December 2.

Play-off dates

10:33 , Matt Verri

The six semi-final matches will be played on March 21, 2024.

Five days later, the three finals will take place on March 26, finalising the groups for Euro 2024.

Wales definitely at home in Cardiff on March 21 - remains to be seen if that is the case for the final should they qualify.

Page: Cardiff is a fortress for Wales

10:28 , Matt Verri

Wales drew 1-1 with Turkey in their final Euros qualifier, but Croatia's win over Armenia made that irrelevant.

The damage had already been done for Wales, who also drew in Armenia to hand the advantage back to Croatia, who they beat last month, in the race for second spot.

Despite the disappointment of missing out on qualification straight through to the Euros, Wales boss Rob Page is backing his players to deliver another memorable night on home soil.

"I'm pleased it's a home draw," he said of the play-offs.

"What our supporters do is incredible. They help us get the results. This place [Cardiff City Stadium] is a fortress. Croatia, now Turkey, you go back to Austria, Ukraine [last year] - we have had some big nights here. The crowd are massive in helping us achieve the wins."

Who can Wales play?

10:21 , Matt Verri

As we've just mentioned, Wales are in Path A.

Poland vs Estonia is already confirmed as one of the semi-finals, with Wales facing either Finland, Ukraine or Iceland in the other last-four clash.

Crucially for Rob Page's side, they will be at home when they go up against one of those three sides.

How the draw works on

10:17 , Matt Verri

There are three spots at Euro 2024 on offer through the play-offs. Three places, three 'paths'.

This morning's draw will confirm the semi-final matches in each of those paths. Those one-legged semi-finals games will set up three finals - we will have draws to establish who has home advantage in those.

Path A: Poland vs Estonia, Wales vs Finland / Ukraine / Iceland

Path B: Israel vs Ukraine / Iceland, Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Finland / Ukraine

Path C: Georgia vs Luxembourg, Greece vs Kazakhstan
