The 2018 World Cup draw is coming up fast. Here’s everything you need to know about it.
When is the World Cup draw?
The draw takes place on Friday, December 1 from the Kremlin in Moscow. If you’re in the United States, you can watch it on FS1 with coverage starting at 10 a.m. ET.
How many teams from each continent made the World Cup?
As usual, Europe has the most participants. In this edition of the World Cup, that’s 14 teams, and none of them had to face off against a team from another confederation to make it. Asia, South America and Africa all have five teams each, while three North American teams made it. Oceania will have no representatives, with New Zealand failing to win its intercontinental playoff.
