Azerbaijan to face Russia in Futsal World Cup play-off

Azerbaijan must get past Russia if they are to attempt to reclaim the FIFA Futsal World Cup in Thailand this autumn after the European play-off draw was held in Zagreb.

In the two-legged ties on 25 to 28 March and 8 to 11 April, the seven teams who won their main round groups in December ? Spain, Italy, Serbia, Portugal, Ukraine, the Czech Republic and Russia ? will be away first. The seven play-off victors, an increase of one from the previous European allocation, progress to the expanded 24-nation final tournament in Thailand from 2 to 18 November.
