Summarizing UEFA qualifying for 2026
For UEFA qualifying in 2026, I need to remember that the format changed because there are now 48 teams. UEFA has 16 direct slots, plus one potential playoff spot. The allocations for 2026 are 8+1 for AFC, 9+1 for CAF, and 6+2 for CONCACAF. The hosts—USA, Canada, and Mexico—qualify automatically, taking spots from the CONCACAF allocation. The intercontinental playoff involves six teams from various confederations, but UEFA has no intercontinental slot.Outlining the playoff format for 2026
The format involves the two highest-ranked teams advancing to the second round, while four lower-ranked teams will play two single-match playoffs. The winners from those will compete against the seeded teams, with two winners qualifying for the World Cup. These matches are to be held in a single host country in March 2026. The UEFA playoffs are also likely in March 2026, aligning with the UEFA Euro 2024 March windows, and the group stage runs from March to November 2025.Clarifying playoff draw dates
The user’s headline implies that the draw dates for the intercontinental and UEFA playoffs may be announced soon, with the intercontinental playoff draw potentially on December 17, 2025, and the UEFA playoff draw around November or December 2025. Given some uncertainty, I could clarify if they're asking for specific details or a summary of those dates. I’ll also offer to look up any updates from official sources if they want, and respond concisely in Chinese to ask what they need.Clarifying playoff draw details

你是想要“具体的抽签日期/时间”和官方来源，还是顺便要我把赛制和席位分配也一起梳理？
先给你快速框架，方便对照官方日期：
- 洲际附加赛：6队参与（AFC、CAF、CONMEBOL、OFC 各1队，CONCACAF 2队），按FIFA排名前两队为种子直接进第二轮；其余4队先打两场单败，胜者再与两支种子单败决出2个世界杯名额。比赛窗口原定在2026年3月国际比赛日，地点通常在北美作为赛事测试。
- 欧洲区附加赛：预计共16队（12个预选赛小组亚军 + 4个欧国联排名靠前且未晋级的球队），分4条路径，每条路径为单场半决赛+决赛，决出4个欧洲名额；比赛窗口同样在2026年3月。
如果你需要，我可以立刻查官方公告，给出确切的两次抽签日期、时间、地点和直播/规则细节。要不要我现在查一下？
