Since the European preliminary round of the world cup officially started in September 2016, after more than a year of competition, 31 teams shortlisted through the preliminary round and the host Russia team have won tickets for the World Cup next year. Data shows that after the world cup was expanded to the top 32 teams in 1998, only nine teams have never been absent, including European giants such as Germany, Spain, France and England, as well as South American giants such as Brazil and Argentina, Japan and South Korea have become the 'symbols' of Asia, and Mexico has become the only representative of central and North America.
It's worth mentioning that Italy, another big European team, was originally on the list, but it's a pity that the team failed to win the World Cup against Sweden.
According to the arrangement, the group draw of the top 32 of the world cup will be held in the Kremlin in Moscow on December 1 local time, and they will be divided into eight groups of a-h. According to the rules of FIFA, all teams are divided into four levels, of which host Russia automatically falls into A1 position as a first level seed team, and other teams enter the first level (seed team), the second level, the third level and the fourth level according to the FIFA World Ranking in October 2017.
