Some teams like Argentina, Brazil, Japan, or newcomers like Uzbekistan and Jordan already have confirmed tickets, pending the start of the main World Cup qualifiers in Europe and Africa.

It will be a draw involving 48 teams for the first time in the history of the FIFA World Cup. A draw that will take place in a venue that has recently become an icon of Las Vegas, The Sphere at The Venetian Resort, a venue that has already hosted major world-class events like the NBA All-Star Game or UFC and boxing cards with world title fights.
