Ladies and gentlemen,

There are exactly 50 national teams here on PPM and they will all take part in the global qualification that will be divided into 8 groups. There will be 6 groups with 6 teams and 2 groups with 7 teams. 4 teams from each group will advance to the World Cup finals.

The teams have been divided into 7 pots according to the number of football teams in the given country.

I am also glad to present a preview of the merchandise that will be available in the PPM Fan Shop which we plan to launch soon. Most of these products will be customizable by adding your nickname or the flag of your country. The magnets will be available in more languages.

That's all, don't miss the draw and have a nice weekend!
