England will be among the top seeds for the 2019 Women's World Cup draw on Saturday and could face Scotland.
The 24 teams were split into four pots on Friday, with the latest FIFA world rankings determining their seedings.
England, who finished third at the previous tournament in Canada in 2015, have slipped one place in the rankings to fourth.
The two British nations could be pitted together when the draw is made in Paris on Saturday at 5pm UK time.
Apart from UEFA, the six groups of four will contain no more than one team from each confederation.
Europe has nine representatives, and all groups will have a minimum of one and maximum of two European teams.
The tournament kicks off in Paris on June 7 and Lyon will host the final on July 7.
England's preparations will include taking part at the SheBelieves Cup for the fourth successive year.
The round-robin competition will see England play Brazil, Japan and hosts the United States in late February and early March.
