The World Cup group draw will take place at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center in the capital of the host country Qatar. The start is at 6 pm Switzerland time (7 pm Qatar time). Dragging is live in the stream and in the bar in Blick.
How many certain participants and who are still missing?
29 of 32 teams are already eligible. Two of the three remaining cards will be awarded in the Intercontinental Qualifiers. On the one hand, Peru plays against Australia or the United Arab Emirates, and on the other hand, Costa Rica plays against New Zealand. The last ticket will be awarded in Europe. The semi-final match between Ukraine and Scotland was postponed, with the winner then meeting Wales for a place in the World Cup. All games will take place in June 2022.
How many pots are there?
There are four pots each with eight teams, of which eight groups of four were formed for the World Cup. The FIFA World Ranking List as of March 31 is crucial to the division into pots. Only Qatar is seeded as host regardless of their position in Pot 1. The three teams that qualify via the remaining qualifiers will automatically move to Pot 4.
What are the pots like?
pot 1: Qatar (host country), Belgium, Brazil, France, Argentina, England, Spain, Portugal
pot 2: Denmark, Netherlands, Germany, Mexico, USA, Switzerlandcroatia, uruguay
Pot 3: Senegal, Iran, Japan, Morocco, Serbia, Poland, South Korea, Tunisia
pot 4: Canada, Cameroon, Ecuador, Saudi Arabia, Ghana, Ukraine/Scotland/Wales, Peru/Australia/UAE, Costa Rica/New Zealand.
What are the withdrawal rules?
First, the group heads are drawn from Pot 1, then teams from Pot 2, then Pot 3 and finally from Pot 4. The rule applies that two teams from the same confederation cannot be included in the same group. For example, Argentina (Pot 1) cannot be in the same group as Uruguay (Pot 2).
European teams are excluded from this rule, as they have the largest number of participants in the World Cup, with a total of 13 participants. The rule here is that a maximum of two teams from Europe can be drawn into the same group. Switzerland (Pot 2) could join defending champions France (Pot 1) in the group, but then Serbia (Pot 3), for example, should not be in that group.
Qatar has already been appointed as Group A president and as usual will host the opening match.
Who is responsible for the fate of Switzerland?
Several football legends are given the honor of drawing groups. Among them are German Lothar Matthaus (61, world champion 1990) or Brazilian Cafu (51), who became world champion with Seleção in both 1994 and 2002. Also in the pots are Adel Ahmed Malallah (Qatar), Rabah Madjer (Algeria) and Tim Cahill (Australia), Jay-Jay Okocha (Nigeria), Ali Daei (Iran), and Bora Milutinovic (Serbia), who died in the 1960s. 25 games for Winterthur.
American player Carli Lloyd (39), who played 316 matches, as well as Jermaine Jenas (39) who played 21 games for the England national team, and British Jamaican sports journalist Samantha Johnson (30) will manage the draw. ).
Do you already know the start dates after the lottery?
Unlike in previous tournaments, it is not clear immediately after the ceremony who will play where and when. Since the distances between stadiums in Qatar are very short, FIFA wants to remain flexible and first check the best match times for countries, depending on TV viewers and local fans. The schedule will be announced on Saturday. (Che)
