Buenos Aires, December 2 (NA) - On Friday, December 5, the draw will take place to determine the groups for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The tournament, which will be held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, will have certain restrictions in place for the division of teams. The event will be covered live by the Noticias Argentina Agency. FIFA has established some impediments for the allocation of spots for the qualified national teams in the World Cup. The first restriction is that the teams from the United States, Mexico, and Canada will be placed in Pot 1 as hosts, represented by the colors blue, green, and red, respectively. The other nine countries will be assigned balls of the same color and the top spot in the remaining groups. Meanwhile, in Pots 2, 3, and 4, the position of the teams in the groups will depend on the pot from which they are drawn and the group in which they are placed. It is important to note that no group may contain two teams from the same confederation, with the exception of UEFA, which has 16 representatives in the competition.
