Uruguay has defeated Argentina 1-0 in its final South American qualifier in Montevideo to finish fifth and earn a playoff against the Socceroos for a spot at next year's World Cup finals in Germany.
Australia's play-off against Uruguay is a repeat of their match-up in 2001, when Uruguay won the two-legged tie 3-1.
This time, though, Australia travels first to Montevideo for the first match at the Estadio Centenario on November 12.
The second leg will be at Sydney's Telstra Stadium on November 16.
