For the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification, there will be two scheduled inter-confederation play-offs to determine the final two qualification spots to the 2018 FIFA World Cup.[1] The matches are scheduled to be played between 6–14 November 2017.[2]

Format

The draw for the inter-confederation play-offs was held as part of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Preliminary Draw on 25 July 2015, starting 18:00 MSK (UTC+3), at the Konstantinovsky Palace in Strelna, Saint Petersburg.[1]

The four teams from the four confederations (AFC, CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, and OFC) were drawn into two ties. There was no seeding.[3]

In each tie, the two teams will play a two-legged home-and-away series. The two winners, decided on aggregate score, qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
