Wales have been drawn in Path A so if they make it to the final, they could have to beat Italy to qualify!

Of course, the draw is not being done in a straightforward 'team A plays team B' manner.
We've had all the pot one teams drawn.
Italy in Path A, Ukraine in B, Turkey in C and Denmark in D. Now for the pot two sides.

BBC SportItaly are the top-ranked team in the play-off draw and will be desperate to avoid missing out on a third successive World Cup.
But in their play-off semi-final, the Azzurri could well face one of the teams who have knocked them out of the play-offs in the two previous qualifying campaigns.
The four-time winners lost 1-0 to Sweden over a two-legged contest for a place at the 2018 World Cup, and were stunned 1-0 at home by North Macedonia in a play-off semi-final ahead of the 2022 showpiece in Qatar.
Since their debut at the tournament in 1934, the only other time Italy have missed a World Cup was in 1958, when they were pipped to the qualifying spot in their final group game by Northern Ireland, another team they could face in the 2026 play-offs.
Alongside Sweden, North Macedonia and Northern Ireland, Italy could also face Romania in the play-off semi-finals.

They definitely appear to have been the biggest takeaway from Mr Infantino's couple of speeches based on the messages we're getting, Callum.
For now, we're almost ready for the draw itself as Italy's World Cup winning defender Marco Materazzi is brought out to help conduct it.

The Fifa president refers to next year's tournament as the "greatest World Cup ever".
Bold claim before a ball has been kicked.
Anyway, he's finished for now. Will he be back? Who knows?

Well, he's back again, Mike. Sadly not dressed as a vicar.
Quite why we need two little speeches from Gianni Infantino - one before each draw - I don't know but we're here now...

A village hall with Gianni dressed as the local vicar calling out the teams from a tombola would be more fun and less of a teeth pulling process.

Wales will 'take anybody' in World Cup play-off drawpublished at 12:19 GMT
Wales
Image source, Getty ImagesWales' focus lies on today's imminent World Cup play-off draw as they wait to discover their semi-final and potential final opponents.
Having finished second in their qualifying group courtesy of an emphatic 7-1 triumph over North Macedonia - their biggest win since 1978 - Craig Bellamy's side will play the last-four encounter on home soil.
They will face either Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo or Republic of Ireland in that fixture on 26 March.
Former Wales striker Rob Earnshaw believes the Dragons will relish a tie against any opponent on the back of their most recent result at Cardiff City Stadium.
"I know Craig Bellamy, I played with him and his mentality is 'give us whoever, it doesn't matter'," Earnshaw told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast.
"A lot of people were saying last night, 'do we really want Republic of Ireland as it's that derby feel?'. I think a lot of people didn't. But for me, that would be incredible.
"So it's one of those, yes, we'll take Kosovo or Bosnia and Albania are not bad and the Republic of Ireland, of course, they're a very good team so they'll be difficult.
"But you just feel that we'll take anybody right now and it doesn't matter, and a lot of that is down to Craig Bellamy."
