Background |
The 55 teams were be drawn into five groups
of six and five groups of five. For the first time, Europe's
traditional powerhouse countries have all been seeded together in pot
one, with France returning to the highest seeds after a twelve year
absence. Europe will send 13 countries to Qatar, ten of which will be
group winners.
The ten group runners-up will go through to the play-offs,
along with the two best Nations League group winners who did not
finish in the top two of the World Cup qualifying groups. The four countries through to the 2021 Nations League
Finals in October - Belgium, France, Italy and Spain - are placed in
the smaller five-team groups.
A record 211 teams entered, and took part. The World Cup Preliminary
draw for Europe took place as a virtual event at FIFA Headquarters in Genève, 7 December
2020, presented by the Spanish journalist Cristina Gullon.
Group
I fixtures were agreed on Tuesday, 8 December 2020.
