The Republic of Ireland have been paired with Bosnia-Herzegovina in the Euro 2016 play-offs.
The first leg will take place in Bosnia-Herzegovina on November 12, 13 or 14, with the return game on November 15, 16 or 17.
The winner on aggregate - using away goals if necessary - will then go into the main tournament draw, which will take place on December 12.
Martin O'Neill's men missed the chance of automatic qualification when they were beaten 2-1 by Poland in their final group game, leaving them third in the group and forcing them to settle for a play-off spot.
Bosnia finished third behind Belgium and Wales in Group B but took four points off Chris Coleman's side, drawing 0-0 in Cardiff last October and winning 2-0 in Zenica earlier this month.
Five of their seven previous attempts at making major finals via the play-off route in the last 50 years have ended in heartache.
Full draw

Sweden v Denmark
Bosnia-Herzegovina v Republic of Ireland
Norway v Hungary
