The 2018 World Cup is just over six months away, but the teams will soon know their opponents for the group stage.
Moscow's famous State Kremlin Palace is the venue for the draw, which takes place on Friday December 1, and the stage is set.
The event will be led by Gary Lineker and Maria Komandnaya, with a number of well known former footballers also taking part.
With the draw imminent, Goal takes a look at the duo who will be conducting the ceremony.
To many from a younger demographic, Gary Lineker is the unmistakable face of BBC's Match of the Day and the star of a series of savoury snack advertisements, but he is also one of England's most accomplished players of all time.
