The draw has been made to identify two more European nations to qualify for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup to be co-hosted in New Zealand and Australia.

Nine European nations will take part in two rounds of games to be played in October, from which two teams will qualify for the World Cup.

A third team will qualify to take part in the intercontinental play-off series in New Zealand next February.

Here are the October UEFA play-off games:

Wales v Bosnia & Herzegovina

Portugal v Belgium

Scotland/Austria v Republic of Ireland
