Scotland are drawn to play the Czech Republic in round one of the Women’s World Cup play-offs. The tie is set as a two-legged matchup, with Scotland needing to win it to advance. Sources report that reaching next summer’s Women’s World Cup also depends on Scotland’s results in the subsequent play-off round: after the Czech Republic tie, Scotland would need to beat either Lithuania or Sweden in a second two-legged encounter. The draw therefore sets up a path for Scotland that requires success in back-to-back play-offs. While the outlets differ only in wording, they agree on the opponents and the tournament structure described—round one against the Czech Republic followed by a second round against the winner of the Lithuania-or-Sweden matchup (or the specific opponent determined by that pairing). The details confirm the competitive requirement for Scotland to progress through two successive play-off ties to secure qualification.
