A total of 39 teams that passed the qualification, but did not include the three hosts, will later be placed in four pots each containing 12 teams.
As for the teams or countries that are still undergoing the playoffs, they will be placed in Pot 4. The playoffs will compete for the remaining six tickets.
In detail, four tickets for teams from the European zone and two from the interconfederation playoffs. The playoffs will take place in March 2026.
Some of the lottery procedures that have been determined are that all teams from Pot 1 are drawn to Group A to L. Then it will be continued with Pots 2, 3, and 4 in sequence.
To ensure the competitive balance of each group, two separate paths to the semifinals have been set when compiling a match chart.
The four highest-ranked teams will be drawn randomly into opposite paths. The same principle will apply to the team with the highest third and fourth rank.
The system is carried out to ensure that, if later the FIFA high-ranking teams become group winners, these teams will not meet before the final.
