Unless I'm missing something, the Football Ferns (FIFA ranked 33rd) will be in Pot 4 most likely I'm guessing??
32 team WC. 4 pools of 8 teams.
In theory you could have the top 24 ranked teams in the world filling pots 1, 2 & 3.
No doubt some UEFA teams ranked higher than the Ferns will miss out. But 9 teams ranked higher than the Ferns, missing out??
So far hosts Brazil, NZ plus AFC teams Australia, China, Japan, North Korea, Philippines and South Korea are all confirmed.
Of those sides only the Philippines (39th) have a lower ranking than the Ferns.
