France, Nov. 20 -- Sides will be ranked one to 16 and put in four pots. The top eight in pots one and two will play the first game - dubbed a semi-final at home.

Teams from pot three will play away at the outfits from pot two.

And the four sides in pot four will be pitted against those in pot 1. All the semis will be decided by a penalty shoot-out if the match were to end level after extra-time.

A separate draw at the headquarters of World Cup organisers Fifa will determine which side hosts the one-off "final".

The final teams to join the likes of Italy, Wales, Ukraine, Turkey and Kosovo in the play-offs was decided on Tuesday night. Late heartbreak in Glasgow
