Draw

[edit]

The draw took place online on the FIFA website on 26 November 2020.

For the draw, the eight teams were allocated to two pots. Pot 1 contained hosts Qatar and the three highest-ranked teams in the November 2020 edition of the FIFA World Rankings (shown in parentheses below): Germany, Chile, and Portugal. Pot 2 contained the remaining four teams: Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and the winners of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (whose identity was not known at the time of the draw and regardless of their identity could not be among the three highest-ranked participating teams),[5] which was won by Cameroon on 5 February 2017 to complete the line-up.[6]

The eight teams were drawn into two groups of four with each group containing two teams from Pot 1 and two teams from Pot 2. During the draw procedure, teams were drawn into alternating groups (Group A, then Group B, repeating) and assigned a position within the group by drawing another ball. As hosts, Qatar were automatically assigned to Position A1 in the draw. Since there were three teams from Europe, one of the two groups was certain to contain two teams from the same confederation (and ), the second time this happened in a FIFA Confederations Cup.[7]

Players in the final squad could be replaced due to serious injury up to 24 hours prior to kickoff of the team's first match, where the replacement players did not need to be in the preliminary squad. The official squads were announced by FIFA on 2 November 2021.
