Besides the division of teams into seeded and unseeded teams, the 96 teams in the 1st round are divided into 6 groups of 16 teams, based on geographical criteria. One of the goals of these geographical criteria is to avoid the pairing of teams from the same country. Each group has the same number of seeded and unseeded teams, and a seeded team will always play against an unseeded team.
