The top-seeded teams for the Dec. 5 World Cup tournament have been finalized, with Germany among the leading contenders. Croatia, however, has not been placed in the top seed category. This announcement comes as FIFA released updated rankings to determine the initial seeding for the competition.
FIFA’s decision to set the top-seeds was based on the latest rankings, which were updated to reflect the current form and performance of the teams. The draw will be held on Dec. 5, and it will determine the groupings for the tournament, which is set to begin in November. The top-seeded teams are expected to be placed in groups that avoid direct competition with each other, ensuring a more balanced and competitive tournament.
