According to this plan, national teams will be divided into ten groups: five groups of six teams and five groups of five teams. Ten group winners will receive direct tickets to the final stage of the tournament. Ten teams who finished second in their groups will play in the playoffs, where they will be joined by two teams from the UEFA Nations League. Thus, three more quotas for the World Cup from Europe will be drawn.
