• Each side is placed in one of five seeding pots (four of nine and one of 11) depending on their coefficient ranking.
• A ball was first drawn from Pot 5 to determine the team in the sixth position of Group A. A second ball was drawn from Pot 5 to determine the team in the sixth position of Group B. A third ball was drawn to determine the team in the fifth position of Group A. Then a fourth ball was drawn from Pot 5 to determine the team in the fifth position of Group B. The same procedure was repeated until the fifth position in Group I was filled.
• Then, the nine teams in Pot 4 were drawn into the fourth position of each group, starting with Group A and ending with Group I (in alphabetical order).
• The same procedure applied to Pots 3 to 1 taking into consideration the respective positions within the respective groups
• Based on the UEFA Executive Committee decisions valid at the time of the draw, Kosovo could not be drawn with either Bosnia and Herzegovina or Serbia.
