When does the World Cup draw take place? The World Cup draw will start at Washington DC’s Kennedy Center at 12pm local time on Friday 5 December (5pm GMT/4am Saturday AEST). The 12 groups for the World Cup will then be formed by one team from each pot (full pots listed later). Sure, speculation is all we’ve got until the actual World Cup kicks off next year. The one who said immigrants from Haiti – who just qualified for the World Cup in heroic fashion – eat pet dogs?
