3 COEFFICIENT RANKING LIST In order to divide the 24 teams into 4 pots, the 24 qualified teams have been ranked, taking into account the results of the qualifying round, i.e. win = 3 points, draw = 1 point, defeat = 0 points (see enclosed coefficient ranking lists). Associations with the same coefficient have been separated using the following criteria: 1. better goal difference; 2. higher number of goals scored; 3. lower number of disciplinary points based only on yellow and red cards received (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points); 4. coefficients used for the 2015/16 qualifying round; 5. drawing of lots. DISTRIBUTION OF TEAMS The 24 teams have been split into 4 pots as follows: Pot A Teams ranked in positions 1 to 6 Pot B Teams ranked in positions 7 to 12 Pot C Teams ranked in positions 13 to 18 Pot D Teams ranked in positions 19 to 24 6 green balls 6 blue balls 6 yellow balls 6 red balls DRAW PROCEDURE The 24 associations will be drawn into 6 groups of 4 teams according to the following procedure: First draw phase The teams in Pot D will be drawn one after the other into fourth position in Groups 1 to 6 (in numerical order). Second draw phase The teams in Pot C will be drawn one after the other into third position in one of the six groups. Third draw phase The teams in Pot B will be drawn one after the other into second position in one of the six groups. Fourth draw phase The teams in Pot A will be drawn one after the other into first position in one of the six groups. For pots A, B and C, the teams will be allocated to a group in such a way as to ensure that no team will meet a team that it has already played in the qualifying round. On the basis of previous decisions taken by the UEFA Executive Committee and the UEFA Emergency Panel, Russia and Ukraine cannot be drawn into the same group. If a team is drawn against a team that it cannot play according to these criteria, the team drawn will be moved to the next available group, in numerical order, and will go in the same ranking position. If a clash is still possible in the last two or three groups then no draw will be made and the team in question will be allocated to the group that does not cause a clash. 3
