Wales now know their Euro 2024 group stage opponents should they qualify, but Rob Page’s side must emerge from play-off path A.
The Dragons failed to qualify automatically but entered the play-offs thanks to their performance in the Nations League last season.
Wales must now beat Finland in the semi-finals on March 21 and then either Poland or Estonia five days later, although they will be at home for both games.
Wales will be hoping to reach their fourth major international tournament in eight years ahead of Germany, following their sensational run to the semi-finals in 2016.
Wales were in Pot 4 and included in the hat as ‘Play-off Winner A’ and could eventually play the Netherlands, Austria and France.
