FIFA has just officially announced this Tuesday evening the composition of the four pots for the draw of the group stage of the 2026 World Cup, scheduled for Friday, December 5, in Washington!

The French team is in Pot 1, alongside, notably, the three host countries (USA, Canada, Mexico), as well as Argentina, Spain, and Brazil.

Croatia, Morocco, Senegal, and Colombia are clearly the teams to avoid from Pot 2.

Erling Haaland’s Norway and Mohamed Salah’s Egypt are seen as the dark horses in Pot 3; as is Algeria.

All the winners of the upcoming playoffs in March will be added to Pot 4. If Italy qualifies, the four-time world champions will thus be in Pot 4!

A possible group of death for Les Bleus: Colombia, Algeria, Italy.
