With the exception of European teams, other teams from the same FA will not be drawn into the same group. UEFA's 13 teams will be divided into 8 groups, of which 5 will have two UEFA teams.

In the draw, Qatar automatically entered Group A as a seeded team, and seven seeded teams from England, Argentina, France, Spain, Belgium, Brazil and Portugal entered the other 7 groups in turn.
As a draw guest for the second-tier team, Mateus drew first from the Netherlands, the Oranges into Group A, Germany into Spain's Group E, and Uruguay into Portugal's Group H due to the principle of avoidance from the same continent.
In the third and fourth gears, Senegal and Ecuador entered Group A, and Qatar had poor signing luck and will play against the Netherlands, Senegal and Ecuador. Levan-led Poland is in Group C, which means Levan will face Messi head-on.
In addition to Group A, Brazil, Switzerland, Serbia and Cameroon are also in Group G, and the other three teams except Brazil are of equal strength.
