ENGLAND have discovered their opponents for the 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign.
Gareth Southgate’s men will be up against Poland, Hungary, Albania, Andorra and San Marino.
Only 13 countries from Europe can make it through to the World Cup finals in Qatar.
The European qualifiers will get underway in March.
England were put into Group I after being the eighth team picked out of the hat.
Southgate’s men are part of a six-team group including Robert Lewandowski’s Poland side.
The Three Lions made it to the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
But their impressive run came to an end after an agonising extra time defeat to Croatia.
SunSport have looked at three ways England could line-up at Qatar in 2022.
Meanwhile, Wales have been drawn into a group with Belgium, Czech Republic, Belarus and Estonia.
