Cameroon placed in Pot four of ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup Group Stage draws.

The draw for the group stage of the 2022 World Cup will take place on Friday, April 1 at 12:00 pm GMT, at a gala event to be held at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center in Doha, Qatar. The draw will determine the composition of the eight groups of four teams that will make up the first phase of the World Cup in Qatar.

Cameroon ranked 38th in the FIFA World Rankings are placed in Pot 4.

In the draw itself, only European nations can be grouped with each other (a maximum of two in a group), with teams from all other confederations cannot be paired together (so, for example, the Senegal would not be able to be in Cameroon’s group).

The 32 qualified teams will placed in eight pots evenly. One team from each of the four pots will be drawn into eight groups that will be selected at random in Friday’s draw. As the host, Qatar automatically secures a spot in Pot 1, while the rest of the teams—except for those who will contest playoffs in June—fall in order based on the March 31 FIFA ranking.

Wales, despite currently being ranked No. 20, will enter Pot 4 because of a delay in the playoff if it wins its matchup with the winner of Ukraine and Scotland. One intercontinental playoff will be populated by the fourth-place Concacaf team (Costa Rica) playing the winner of the Oceania Football Confederation (New Zealand). The other playoff pits the winner of the Asian Football Confederation third-place playoff (United Arab Emirates vs. Australia) against the fifth-place team in CONMEBOL (Peru). The winners of both those matches will advance to Qatar and occupy places in the final pot.
