Portugal will take on Ireland's conquerors Sweden for a place in the World Cup finals after the FIFA playoff draw was made in Switzerland.

While Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic will captain their respective countries in that two-legged tie, France will take on Ukraine.

It is the second World Cup in succession that the French will need a playoff to qualify. Last time out, Thierry Henry's controversial handball helped to knock Ireland out at the same stage.
