The draw for the European zone play-offs for the 2014 World Cup took place in Zurich, Switzerland, and France has been drawn to face Ukraine. The matches are scheduled to be played in a home-and-away format, with the first leg on November 15 and the return leg on November 19. The last time France faced Ukraine was during Euro 2012, where the Blues secured a 2-0 victory in Kyiv.
The draw also set up a high-stakes clash between Portugal and Sweden, ensuring that one of the star players, either Zlatan Ibrahimovic or Cristiano Ronaldo, will miss out on the opportunity to play in the World Cup in Brazil.
