The process of the World Cup draw

The 32 qualified teams will be drawn into eight groups of four (A to H). host Qatar is as head of Group A set. The remaining teams are seeded according to the world rankings. Germany is in lottery pot 2.

Groups with more than two European teams and other duels between teams from the same confederation are excluded.

As expected, the German national soccer team is in pot two in the draw for the World Cup in Qatar and could therefore meet a top team in the preliminary round. This is the result of the new world rankings published by the world association FIFA on Thursday, in which the DFB team is only ranked twelfth. Only hosts Qatar were seeded for pot one, otherwise the pots were filled according to the order of the nations in the ranking.

In the March ranking, Brazil overtook the previous leader Belgium. With three teams yet to be determined via the intercontinental and European play-offs in June, three wildcards will be used in pot four.

The pots of the World Cup draw:

• Pot 1: Qatar, Brazil, Belgium, France, Argentina, England, Spain, Portugal
• Pot 2: Mexico, Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Uruguay, Switzerland, USA, Croatia
• Pot 3: Senegal, Iran, Japan, Morocco, Serbia, Poland, South Korea, Tunisia
• Pot 4: Cameroon, Canada, Ecuador, Saudi Arabia, Ghana and the winners of the duels Wales – Scotland/Ukraine, Costa Rica – New Zealand and United Arab Emirates/Australia – Peru

World Cup draw: The rules

A maximum of two European teams may meet in the preliminary round, but direct duels in other confederations are excluded. For example, Argentina and Uruguay are in different draws, but the two teams from the South American association cannot be drawn into one group.

World Cup draw: These superstars are missing in Qatar

European champions Italy missed out on qualifying for the World Cup. The Italians lost to North Macedonia in the semi-finals of the playoffs and will not be drawn into any of the groups in the evening. This means that the 2022 World Cup will take place in Qatar without Europe’s Footballer of the Year, Jorginho. Dortmund superstar Erling Haaland also missed the leap into the pots with Norway. Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah and Egypt will also only be able to watch the World Cup on TV.

World Cup Draw: These teams have yet to qualify

Unlike previous World Cup draws, not all teams have qualified yet. Three starting places for the World Cup tournament in Qatar 2022 are still open. Costa Rica and New Zealand will play out another starting place in Qatar in June. In addition, the United Arab Emirates meet Australia – the winner of the duel then plays against Peru to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar. In Europe, the playoff semi-final between Ukraine and Scotland has been postponed to June due to the situation in Ukraine. The winner of this semi-final then meets Wales with Gareth Bale. All previously unqualified teams are in pot four.

World Cup draw: These top-class players threaten the German national team

The German national team will probably meet at least one hammer opponent in the group.

In addition to world champions France, numerous big nations such as Argentina with Lionel Messi, Portugal with Cristiano Ronaldo, world number one Brazil with superstar Neymar, England with Harry Kane, Spain with former Bayern star Thiago or Belgium with Kevin de Bruyne are waiting in pot one. Hosts Qatar would be the only grateful opponents.

In the worst case, Germany could meet Brazil, Poland with world footballer Robert Lewandowski and Cameroon in its World Cup group. But a group with France, Sadio Manes Senegal and Ecuador would also be tough.

Matthew draws World Cup groups with all teams

Former World Champion Lothar Matthäus receives a special honor at the draw for the World Cup in Qatar. As the world governing body FIFA announced on Thursday, the 61-year-old and five other draw assistants will be allowed to draw the groups for the Winter World Cup on Friday in Doha (November 21 to December 18).

In addition to Matthäus, former football stars Cafu, Jay-Jay Okocha, Ali Daei, Rabah Madjer, Bora Milutinovic, Tim Cahill and Qatari local hero Adel Ahmed MalAllah are also involved in drawing the eight groups of four.

“Even if I’m slowly getting used to it, I still get goosebumps,” said the Brazilian 2002 World Champion Cafu, who is a Losfee for the third time: “It’s the sign that the World Cup is getting closer.” The 32 teams are divided into four pots for the draw. First a group is assigned to a nation, before the position within the group is determined by another draw.

World Cup draw: Flick optimistic

National coach Flick travels calmly to the Persian Gulf despite the threat of a hammer group. “I’ve already taken part in a few draws. We’re going there, we’ll take a look and see what we’ve been drawn and we’ll prepare ourselves very well for the task,” said the 57-year-old.

In view of the Bundesliga games scheduled for November 13th, the date of the first game is almost more important to him than his opponents. While groups A and B start on November 21st, the teams from groups G and H are not challenged until November 24th. Then a short training camp would be possible.

World Cup draw: Three moderators

Former world footballer Carli Lloyd, former England international Jermaine Jenas and British-Jamaican sports journalist Samantha Johnson will moderate the draw show. In addition to Matthäus, former football stars Cafu, Jay-Jay Okocha, Ali Daei, Rabah Madjer, Bora Milutinovic, Tim Cahill and Qatari local hero Adel Ahmed MalAllah are also involved in drawing the eight groups of four.

“It’s a great honor to get a taste of the World Cup again, this time in the draw for the men’s tournament,” said Lloyd. “As a former player, I can’t wait.”
