The World Cup will start in just over six months and almost all the teams that will compete in it are already known. The last qualifying match left to play is between Peru and the New Zealand national teams. Depending on the outcome of this final match, the draw pots may change slightly, but their composition is already essentially clear. National teams will be divided into eight groups of four on December 1, and teams with similar FIFA rankings will not be able to play together in the same group, as the pots are arranged according to this criterion. Teams from the same confederation will also not be able to be in the same group. For example, Brazil cannot face Colombia in the first stage, as both teams belong to CONMEBOL. World Cup draw pots: 1st Pot 2nd Pot 3rd Pot 4th Pot Russia (hosts) Spain (8) Iceland (21) Nigeria (41) Germany (1) Switzerland (11) Costa Rica (22) Australia (43) Brazil (2) England (12) Sweden (25) Japan (44) Portugal (3) Colombia (13) Tunisia (28) Morocco (48) Argentina (4) Mexico (16) Egypt (30) Panama (49) Belgium (5) Uruguay (17) Senegal (32) South Korea (62) Poland (6) Croatia (18) Iran (34) Saudi Arabia (63) France (7) Denmark (19)* Serbia (38)* Peru / N. Zealand* * - The final pot to which these teams belong is not yet clear due to the outcome of the duel between Peru and New Zealand. If Peru, ranked 10th, wins, they will move to the second pot, pushing Denmark and Serbia down.
