Teams will be divided into three groups of seven and five groups of six.
The top side in each group will qualify for the finals automatically along with the two best-placed runners-up.
The other six second-placed teams will then be paired off to play each other over two-legged play-offs for the remaining three places.
Hosts Germany are the only country who do not have to qualify for the event.
For the first time in the tournament's history the reigning champions, Brazil, have not been given an automatic place at the finals.
The ceremony will also feature the draws for the group stages in Africa, Oceania, North and Central America and the Caribbean, and Asia.
No draw will be made for South America because the qualifying tournament is a league competition which is already underway.
