Draw procedure

The 28 teams are drawn into seven groups of four teams. The draw starts with Pot 1, which contains seven balls. The drawn teams are assigned to the groups in ascending order from A1 to A7, except if a draw condition applies.

The draw continues with Pot 2, Pot 3 and Pot 4 and follows the same rules as described above for Pot 1.

Should this be possible when drawing the last groups, the teams will be drawn and will be assigned to the groups.
