A stellar line-up has been assembled to help with Friday's draw in Doha, including World Cup winners and national heroes.
2,000 guests are expected to attend the draw, to be led by former USWNT international and two-time World Cup winner Carli Lloyd, pundit and former England player Jermaine Jenas, and sports anchor Samantha Johnson.
Brazil's Cafu and Germany's Lothar Matthäus headline the assistants, both of whom captained their countries to World Cup glory.
Victorious in 1994 and 2002, Cafu remains the only player to have featured in three straight finals, while Matthäus' efforts in leading Germany to the title in 1990 saw the midfielder rewarded with the Ballon d'Or trophy.
They are joined by Jay-Jay Okocha and Tim Cahill, icons in Nigeria and Australia respectively, as well as Serbian Bora Milutinovic, the only coach to have managed five different teams at five consecutive tournaments.
The remaining assistants are a trio of former international stars: Qatar's Adel Ahmed MalAllah, Algeria's Rabah Madjer and Iran's Ali Daei.
Daei is famed for having been the all-time leading goalscorer in men's international football with 109 goals, a record he held until he was leapfrogged by Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo last year.
