Chapter 336

In the first month of the World Cup year, the draw ceremony for each group of the World Cup has officially begun!

A total of 32 teams participated in this World Cup, divided into eight groups. The top two teams in each group will enter the round of [-], and then there will be a single knockout match until the champion will be produced.

The 32 teams participating this time are also the 64 teams that stood out in the top 32 last year.

Among them, four teams from the First Continent successfully broke through in the end, and they used their own strength to prove that there were not many places given at the beginning, and of course there were not many.

The four teams from the first continent to participate in the World Cup are the national team, H team, R team, and S team.

A total of nine teams participated in the second continent, namely BX team, ZZ team, AG team, WNR team, SLG team, ALG team, GLB team, MG team, MXG team.

A total of six teams participated in the third continent, namely KN team, NY team, NF team, MLG team, KML team, JN team.

There are [-] teams participating in the fourth continent, which are D team, P team, DB team, XB team, YD team, HL team, FL team, NS team, NW team, DM team, EL team, and JK team.

Only one team from the Fifth Continent participated, and they qualified as the No.64 of the Fifth Continent in the best round of 1 and squeezed out the No.13 of the Fourth Continent.

The rules of the lottery for the group stage this time are still the same as before. The top eight countries in the world will be the first to be drawn as the seeded teams, and then the other 24 teams will be divided into three grades and drawn in turn.

The eight seeded teams in this World Cup are the defending champion BX team, D team ranked second to eighth in the world, YD team, AG team, FL team, XB team, HL team, and SLG team.Five teams from the fourth continent and three teams from the second continent.

The second-tier teams are the remaining six teams from the second continent, plus the two top-ranked teams from the third continent, and the third-tier teams are the remaining seven teams from the fourth continent plus the ADL team from the fifth continent.

The four teams from the first continent and the remaining four teams from the third continent make up the fourth pot.

In order to avoid teams from the same continent being grouped into one group, after the five seeded teams from the fourth continent draw their own groups, they can only draw six teams from the second continent when drawing the second-tier teams. Similarly, when drawing the third-tier teams, the three seeded teams from the second continent must first be drawn from the seven teams from the fourth continent.

In this way, basically every group will have at least one team from the second continent and the fourth continent.

The eight seeded teams took the lead in drawing the group.They are Team D in Group A, Team BX in Group B, Team FL in Group C, Team SLG in Group D, Team YD in Group E, Team XB in Group F, Team AG in Group G, and Team H in Group H.

Immediately afterwards, it was time for the second-tier teams to draw.

The five seeded teams from the fourth continent will be drawn first, and they will draw five teams from the six teams from the second continent.

Except for MG, the remaining six teams from Second Continent are: ZZ was drawn to Group A, GLB was drawn to Group C, ALG was drawn to Group E, MXG was drawn to Group F, and the remaining WNR team was naturally drawn to Group H.Afterwards, the MG team was drawn into Group B, while the top two teams from the third continent, NY and KML, were drawn into Group D and Group G respectively.

The third round of draws began immediately afterward. The first three teams from the second continent to play will draw three teams from the seven teams from the fourth continent.As a result, Team P, Team EL and Team NS were divided into Group B, Group D and Group G respectively.The remaining four teams from the fourth continent, DB, JK, NW, and DM, were divided into Group A, Group E, Group F and Group H respectively.The fifth continent's ADL team was assigned to Group C.

In the fourth round of draws, the two groups D and G that were previously drawn to the third continent were drawn first among the four teams from the first continent. In the end, teams R and S from the first continent were drawn.

After that, the remaining six countries were also assigned to their respective groups.The national team is assigned to Group C.

The World Cup groups are as follows:
Group A: Team D, Team ZZ, Team DB, Team H.

Group B: Team BX, Team MG, Team P, Team KN.

Group C: FL team, GLB team, ADL team, national team.

Group D: SLG team, MY team, EL team, R team.

Group E: Team YD, Team ALG, Team JK, Team JN.

Group F: Team XB, Team MXG, Team NW, Team MLG.

Group G: AG team, KML team, NS team, S team.

Group H: HL team, MNR team, DM team, NF team.

"This grouping is not bad." After the grouping ceremony, Liu Feiyu looked at Vice Chairman Chen beside him and said.

"For us, we are here to study, and the Football Association doesn't have any special tasks for you, but we still hope to win a game!" Vice Chairman Chen said with a smile.

"Your pursuit is too low! No matter what, you have to qualify!" Liu Feiyu said with a smile.

"Qualifying is naturally the best! How about I go back to the entire military order?" Vice Chairman Chen looked at Liu Feiyu and said with a smile.

"The military order will be waived," Liu Feiyu said with a smile, "That thing is meaningless."

"You!" Vice Chairman Chen said with a smile.

For the national team to go to the World Cup this time, the Football Association did not give any task, but just told Liu Feiyu to let go and play.

When the national team entered the World Cup last time, when receiving an interview with the national leaders, Liu Feiyu still remembered what the national leaders said to him.

"I believe you will do well in the World Cup!"

So in this World Cup, Liu Feiyu must have an idea, at least to qualify for the group stage.

After the lottery ceremony, the national team also started their first training session. The training session was not long, only ten days. After ten days, the players returned to their clubs to prepare for the upcoming league.

Although the Football Association once consulted Liu Feiyu on whether to make the training time of the national team longer, but Liu Feiyu felt that it was not necessary, and there was no need to make everyone nervous.

After the start of the new season, the City League is still tepid in the league, but in the FA Cup, the City League passed two consecutive rounds and entered the top [-].

There is still one month before the World Cup. The national team is assembled again. After a week of training at home, the national team will go to the venue of the World Cup. Tong Datong and others who are playing overseas will directly meet other teammates of the national team at the venue.

This time, the members of the national team are still the players from the top 64 last year, and everyone is familiar with each other when they are together.

But this time, Liu Feiyu strongly invited Miranda to accompany him. In addition to the officials of the Football Association, there was also Zhu Yitong, a consultant specially hired by the Football Association this time, who had returned from his studies.

"Is it a surprise? Isn't it a surprise?" Zhu Yitong said happily when he saw Liu Feiyu at the airport.
