The World Cup qualifiers have been completed, so Italy now know who they could potentially face in the play-offs in March 2022.
The Azzurri finished second in their group behind Switzerland, so will need to go through the play-offs next year before knowing if they have a spot at the tournament in Qatar come November.
Italy are in the play-offs along with Wales, Macedonia, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Scotland, Sweden, Turkey and Ukraine, plus Nations League qualifiers Austria and the Czech Republic.
Only three of those 12 teams will make it into the World Cup finals in Qatar.
Among the nations eliminated from the World Cup already are Albania, Bosnia, Norway, Slovenia, Slovakia and Hungary.
The draw for the play-offs is on Friday November 26, splitting them into three paths of four teams each, with a semi-final and a final, both one-off games.
Italy are top seeds in the draw, along with Wales, Portugal, Russia, Scotland and Sweden.
They will be in a semi-final against one of the following teams: Austria, Macedonia, Poland, Czech Republic, Turkey and Ukraine.
Because Italy are seeds, it means they will play the semi-final on home turf.
However, there will be another draw to decide the venue for the final.
