Russia world cup is the 21st World Cup football match. The competition will be held in 12 stadiums in 11 cities in Russia from June 14 to July 15, 2018.
On the evening of December 1, 2017, the drawing ceremony of 2018 Russia world cup was held in the Kremlin in Moscow, and the groups of 32 teams were also determined.
There are three steps in the drawing rules of 2018 Russia world cup:
In the first step, host Russia was put into group A, and the other seven first team teams were drawn into group B to group H in turn.
The second step is to draw out the second team to enter the remaining 7 positions of group a-h.
Step three, third and fourth gears will be pulled out in sequence.
The top 32 will be divided into eight groups. All teams are divided into four gears, of which host Russia automatically falls into A1 position as the first seeded team, and other teams enter first gear (seeded team), second gear, third gear and fourth gear according to FIFA World Ranking in October 2017. Different from the previous World Cup, this time all teams are ranked according to the world ranking, rather than the same continent based on geographical considerations. However, the principle of avoiding with the continent still exists, and teams belonging to the same Football Association will not be in the same group. For UEFA, which has more teams, there are only two European teams in the same group.
