The draws for the final tournament of the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup will be held in Canada on Saturday, December 6 2014.

Twenty four teams will be divided into six groups of four. This will be the first time the final tournament would have such a number of teams.

FIFA General-secretary, Jerome Valcke, will preside over the ceremony, to be assisted by Tatiana Haenni - FIFA's head of Women's competitions.

The draw will be broadcast live on fifa.com

Here are the team pots:

Pot 1: Canada, USA, Germany, France, Brazil, Japan.

Pot 2: Nigeria, Cameroon, Cote d' Ivoire, Costa Rica, Mexico, New Zealand.

Pot 3: Australia, China PR, Korea Republic, Thailand, Colombia, Ecuador.

Pot 4: Sweden, England, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, Netherlands.

Two teams from the same pot cannot be in the same group.

Venue: Canadian Museum of History, Ottawa.

Congrats to the Netherlands for qualifying for a 1st ever FIFA WWC.
The Orange ladies defeated Italy 3-2 on aggregate.

The 24th spot would be taken by either Trinidad and Tobago, or Ecuador on December 2.
The first leg in Quito (Ecuador) ended 0-0.
T&T could be the first Caribbean nation to qualify for a senior WWC.

Issorait!

They shouldn't place the Falcons in the same group as either Germany or Brazil ooo

I would fancy the Super Falcons to clinch 2nd spot in such a group.

The top 5 countries in FIFA's women rankings for both June 19, and September 19 are (in order):

USA
Germany
Japan
France
Sweden

Canada will be seeded in Group A.

I dont think so

You know the senior team has somehow found it a bit difficult on the international stage

Congrats to Ecuador on a historic qualification for the WWC. They beat Trinidad and Tobago 1-0 on aggregate.

If the amount of teams participating is 24, it means the top 2 from each group and the best 4 third placed teams moves to the next round right?

Correct.

2 days to go

1 day to go..

Fun facts:

- 18 year-old Anna Miedima of the Netherlands emerged as the highest goal scorer of the qualifying campaign with 16 goals.

- England, Germany, France, and Sweden were the only UEFA teams that won all 10 group games of the qualification campaign.
They collectively scored 200 goals, conceding just 9.

- New Zealand haven't conceded a goal in FIFA WWC qualifying since 2007!

If the falcons should step up their game a little, then the trophy would be Naija's.
