The International Federation of Football Associations has unveiled additional details of the 2018 World Cup Final Draw.

The draw at the State Kremlin Palace in Moscow starts at 6pm tomorrow. The 32 finalists will be split into eight groups featuring a team from each of the four pots. Only Europe can have two teams in the same group. Fifa changed how it allocated teams in the draw and now uses rankings alone for all four pots. At previous World Cups, only Pot 1 was for seeded teams, and the other three pots were decided by a geographical spread.
