There will however still be a limit on multiple countries from the same confederation being in 1 group: no teams from the same confederation can be in one group (i.e. if Brazil is in Group B, no other South-American team can also be in Group B) except UEFA countries, which are limited to a maximum of 2 per group. |
That's good. I thought it was stupid that there was no chance of a CONCACAF and Asian team facing each other in the group stage in previous World Cups. I'm so excited for the World Cup Draw, last time I could barely sleep. It's even bigger than E3 for me.
