World Cup 2018 Pots and possible draws

The 2018 World Cup is just over six months away and all 32 finalists are now known.

Before the tournament kicks off next June, the participating teams will be divided into eight groups by way of a draw and managers will then be able to begin preparing for their opponents.

Teams will be placed into seeding pots for the draw, which is set to take place in December. Each group will have a team from each of the p4 pots, meaning teams in the same pot will not be in the same group. Here are the pots:

Pot 1 - Russia, Brazil, Germany, Portugal, Argentina, Belgium, Poland, France

Pot 2 - Spain, Peru, Switzerland, England, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay, Croatia

Pot 3 - Denmark, Iceland, Costa Rica, Sweden, Tunisia, Egypt, Senegal, Iran

Pot 4 - Serbia, Nigeria, Australia, Japan, Morocco, Panama, South Korea, Saudi Arabia
