Group drawing

On December 1, 2017, the draw ceremony for the final stage of the tournament was held in the Kremlin in Moscow, the capital of Russia.
The final 32 of the tournament were divided into eight groups. All teams are divided into four tiers, with hosts Russia automatically falling into A1 as first seeds, while the other teams are ranked first (seeds), second, third and fourth according to the October 2017 FIFA world rankings. The classification principles are based on the FIFA World Rankings published on 16 October 2017. Each grade is divided into 8 teams, and one team from each grade is divided into groups A-H. The grouping follows the principle of avoiding teams from the same continent except the European zone, and teams belonging to the same confederation will not be grouped in the same group. At the same time, due to the large number of teams in UEFA, the same group can only have a maximum of two European teams. 12 - [13]
