The 2018 FIFA World Cup draw is here!
Below, we will be tracking where all 32 countries are placed during the draw.
There are 32 countries divided into four "pot." The top seeds are all placed in Pot 1 and will be assigned to groups first. Those will be followed by the teams in Pot 2 and so on, with the lowest seeded teams in Pot 4 grouped last. Adjustments could happen along the way to keep teams from the same region out of the same group. Europe is the only region that allows more than one country in the same group.
Here are the four pots:
Pot 1: Russia, Germany, Brazil, Portugal, Argentina, Belgium, Poland, France
Pot 2: Spain, Peru, Switzerland, England, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay, Croatia
Pot 3: Denmark, Iceland, Costa Rica, Sweden, Tunisia, Egypt, Senegal, Iran
Pot 4: Serbia, Nigeria, Australia, Japan, Morocco, Panama, South Korea and Saudi Arabia
