The Football Ferns have locked in two World Cup warm-up games against Argentina at Auckland and Hamilton next February.
Ranked 29th in the world, the South Americans have already qualified for the tournament, but will be a guest team at the playoff event to determine the final three berths in the 36-team main draw.
The world No.22 NZ women have also secured a fixture against Portugal - the sole European entry in the playoff - who are ranked one spot below.
"As we get closer to the World Cup kicking off, part of our focus moves to how we can adapt to and perform in these high-pressure environments," says coach Jitka Klimkova.
"Playing games during the playoff tournament is a valuable piece of our preparation puzzle. Playing at Waikato and North Harbour Stadiums gives us further opportunities to play in other areas of Aotearoa, and continue connecting with our fans across the country."
New Zealand have faced Argentina twice before, winning both times in 2008 (1-0) and 2019 (2-0).
