The 53 teams are divided into ten groups – three of six teams and seven of five teams. Apparently the DFB team, as the set host, is likely to slip into the five-man group and play as the sixth team without a rating. This is what France did before EM 2016. Another option is to search for friendly opponents during the qualifying period. To date, UEFA and the DFB have yet to comment on the plans.
