The draw, which started at 6 p.m. local time, marked the final event before the Russia 2018 World Cup officially begins on June 14. The tournament will last until July 15 and will be hosted in 12 stadiums across the country.
A total of 32 teams have qualified for the tournament.
The United States Football Federation plans to organize a tournament, parallel to the FIFA World Cup, with the teams that didn't qualify for the tournament, the BBC reported.
The United States lost its chance to make it to the FIFA 2018 World Cup in Russia after losing against Trinidad and Tobago, the first time in more than 30 years that the country doesn't qualify.
