West Ham will play AEK Larnaca in the last-16 of the Europa Conference League next month.
Having topped their group with six wins from six matches, seeded West Ham will first travel to Cyprus to face AEK Larnaca in the first leg before returning to the London Stadium a week later.
The last-16 matches are scheduled for Thursday March 9 and Thursday March 16, the same dates as the Europa League round of 16 fixtures.
David Moyes’ side, who have endured a stumbling Premier League campaign despite their excellent form in Europe, avoided drawing Serie A outfits Lazio and Fiorentina, as well as Moldovan outfit Sheriff Tiraspol, who beat eventual winners Real Madrid in the Champions League group stage last season.
Lazio will take on Dutch side AZ Alkmaar, Fiorentina have drawn a tie with Turkish club Sivasspor and Sheriff will play Nice, who are currently eighth in Ligue 1.
Meanwhile, Polish club Lech Poznan will host Djurgardens in the first leg before heading to Sweden for the second match, and Swiss outfit Basel have drawn Slovan Bratislava, who are leading the Slovak top flight.
