Draw
The draw for the tournament was held on 20 March 2024, 20:00 CET (UTC+1), at the Pulse building in Saint-Denis, France.[6][7]
The 16 teams were drawn into four groups of four teams. No group contains more than one team from each confederation.[8][9]
Pot 1 | Pot 2 | Pot 3 | Pot 4 |
---|---|---|---|
Notes
- ^ a b c As the three teams qualified through the AFC U-23 Asian Cup were to be known only after the draw, placeholders were allocated according to the ranking of the Men’s Olympic Football Tournament Tokyo 2020. The placeholders were named “AFC 1”, “AFC 2” and “AFC 3”.[9]
- ^ As the AFC-CAF play-off was to be played after the draw, the placeholder was allocated to Pot 4 and would not be drawn into a group already containing an AFC or CAF team.[9]
