The FIFA draw for the 2014 World Cup groups is approaching, and France, initially placed in Pot 4 along with several European teams, could find itself in Pot 2 due to a situation where nine European nations are competing for eight available spots. To resolve this, a draw will take place before the official group draw to determine which European team will move to Pot 2. The pots for the draw are as follows:
Pot 1: Argentina, Brazil, Belgium, Colombia, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Uruguay Pot 2: Algeria, Cameroon, Chile, Ivory Coast, Ecuador, Ghana, Nigeria Pot 3: Australia, Costa Rica, Honduras, Iran, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, United States Pot 4: Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, England, France, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia
