FIFA U-20 World Cup Poland 2019

The final slot allocation per confederation has been decided by the FIFA Council as follows:

CONFEDERATION NUMBER OF TEAMS QUALIFIED TEAMS/QUALIFIERS

UEFA 5 Italy, Portugal, Ukraine, France and Norway
Hosts 1 Poland

POT ALLOCATION:

The 24 qualified teams will be allocated to four pots of six teams each, based on a ranking built according
to past sporting performance.

The ranking will be based on the total points obtained in the last five FIFA U-20 World Cups (3 points for a
win, 1 point for a draw, 0 for a loss). The ranking used to build the pots will thus be based on the points
obtained at the 2017, 2015, 2013, 2011 and 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cups.

To enable the ranking to accurately reflect current form, greatest importance will be given to results from
the most recent FIFA U-20 World Cup. To a lesser degree, attention will also be paid to results from previous
years. The system will use five cycles, with the points earned in one World Cup declining linearly:

 Year 2017: 100% value of total points


 Year 2015: 80% value of total points
 Year 2013: 60% value of total points
 Year 2011: 40% value of total points
 Year 2009: 20% value of total points

In addition, five bonus points will be added to each of the confederation champions that won a qualifying
tournament.

Based on the above ranking, the five top teams and the hosts will be allocated to Pot 1, the next six teams
to Pot 2 and so on.

Draw procedures: FIFA U-20 World Cup Poland 2019 1


DRAW PROCEDURE:

 The four pots representing the teams will be labelled pots 1 to 4.

 The six pots representing the groups/venues will be labelled groups A to F. In each pot, there will be
four balls with the position numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 for each respective group.

 The draw will start with Pot 1 and end with Pot 4. Each pot shall be completely emptied before
moving on to the next pot.

 A ball from a team pot will be drawn, followed by a ball from one of the group/venue pots, thus
determining the position in which the respective team will play.

DRAW CONSTRAINTS:

1- In Pot 1, Poland will have a red ball. They will be pre-assigned to position A1 as hosts.

2- FIFA’s general principle is to ensure that no group has more than one team from the same
confederation drawn into it.
