Haiti and Portugal have earned themselves places at this year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup after they both won Wednesday’s play-off games.
Haiti, ranked 55th in FIFA’s women’s world rankings, will go into Group D against England (#4), Denmark (#18) and China (#15).
Portugal, ranked 24th in the rankings, will go into Group E against the United States (#1), Netherlands (#8) and Vietnam (#34).
This leaves only one place to fill at the tournament and that will be either Paraguay or Panama or who play on Thursday.
