Seeding

Unless altered, seeding for the draw will be based on the October 2017 FIFA World Ranking standings, due to suitability for teams which will play play-off matches to qualify for the tournament in November. Russia will be seeded as they are the host nation, along with the top seven national teams of the standings.
