Israel is set to face Iceland in the Euro 2024 qualifying play-off semifinal draw held in Nyon on Thursday, while Ukraine will travel to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
While twenty teams have already secured their positions in the upcoming tournament through the qualifying rounds, twelve nations are in contention for the remaining three spots, with Germany participating as hosts.
In the Path B semi-final, Israel will host Iceland, and the victorious team will have the opportunity to host the match against either Bosnia and Herzegovina or Ukraine.
