Draw
editThe draw was held on 29 March 2018, at 18:00 CEST, at the Oslo Concert Hall in Oslo. The 32 teams were drawn into eight groups of four.
For the draw, the teams were allocated to four pots based on the FIFA World Rankings of February 2018. Pot 1 contained the hosts Norway (who were automatically assigned to Position A1) and the best seven teams, Pot 2 contained the next best eight teams, and so on for Pots 3 and 4. This was different from previous draws, where only Pot 1 was based on FIFA Rankings while the remaining pots were based on geographical considerations. However, still retained was the fact that teams from the same confederation were not drawn against each other for the group stage, except for UEFA where each group contained up to two teams.
Pot 1 | Pot 2 | Pot 3 | Pot 4 |
---|---|---|---|
Norway (56) (hosts) |
Paraguay (30) |
Greece (45) |
Uzbekistan (77) |
Squads
edit- Main article: 2018 FIFA Rimet Cup squads
