Wales have been drawn in Group J with Belgium, North Macedonia, Kazakhstan and Liechtenstein in World Cup 2026 qualifying.
Craig Bellamy’s side will be looking to reach a second consecutive world cup finals, having reached the tournament in Qatar two years ago.
The qualifying group stage games will be played between March and November 2025, with the 12 group winners qualifying directly.
The 12 group runners-up will take part in the play-offs, along with the four best-ranked group winners in the Nations League.
In total, 16 European nations will qualify for the expanded 48-team tournament, which will be hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Fixture information for qualifying will be released at a later date.
