THE EURO 2024 playoff draw is taking place – and Wales are eagerly awaiting their opponents.
Robert Page's men finished behind Turkey and Croatia in qualifying Group D having failed to beat the Turkish opposition in their final fixture.
And Wales will hope to join England and Scotland on that plane to Germany next year, along with 17 other already-qualified nations.
However, it won't be easy as Robert Lewandowski's Poland could be one of the teams they have to face to get there.

Are the play-offs new?
There have been play-offs for six of the last seven Euros.
The Euro 2020 play-offs offered a different format.
For the first time, teams had to come through more than one round and, unlike all previous editions, sides qualified to participate via the Nations League, rather than the European qualifiers.
