Draw
[edit]Teams are placed in drawing pots based on their geographical location and their standing in the previous World Cup and European Games as follows:[13]
- Pot 1 contains the non-European teams that finished 7th or better at the 2016 World Cup as well as the best ranked teams from the 2017 European Games, for a total of seven teams.
- Pot 2 contains the remaining non-European teams except Mexico.
- Pot 3 contains the European teams ranked 5th to 11th at the 2017 European Games.
- Pot 4 contains all remaining European teams.
Mexico is automatically assigned a spot as the 8th ranked team at the 2016 World Cup.
|
|
|
|
The teams are drawn from the pots into six groups of four teams (A, B, C, D, E, and F) and one group of five teams (G). Teams from Pot 1 are drawn into each group's first position. Mexico takes position G2 and the other second positions are taken from Pot 2. Pot 3 teams are drawn in each group's third position, and the remaining positions are drawn from Pot 4.
Group stage
[edit]In the group stage, teams compete in a cross-pool league system, whereby the teams in Group A play against the teams in Group B and similarly for Groups C and D, and Groups E and F. Only teams in Group G are playing against each other. At the end of the group stage, all teams are ranked together based on their performance.[14]
