The 2018 World Cup draw will take place in Russia's capital city of Moscow on December 1 at the State Kremlin Palace, which is frequently used as a concert hall.

Those 32 teams will be split into four pots based on their current Fifa world rankings. Pot 1 will contain Russia and the highest-ranked seven teams. Pot 2 will feature the next best eight teams, and so on for Pots 3 and 4.

The draw will divide the 32 teams into eight groups of four from A to H. Each group will play three matches before the top two countries advance to the second round. Russia will be in Group A as host nation.
