The first game on the 13th of June will see the winner of the Asian playoff between Australia and the UAE take on Peru, the side which finished fifth in CONMEBOL qualifiers. 

Whilst a day later, Costa Rica will play OFC winners New Zealand with a place at the first-ever World Cup in the Middle East on the line.
