Much to the excitement of football fans across the world - and even those with a passing interest in the sport - the 2018 World Cup is very nearly here.

And even if England let you down in the coming months, you could still come away from this summer's tournament a winner by taking part in a World Cup sweepstake.

We have created a kit that is ready for you to download, print and play with.

All you need to do is cut out each team and place them into a hat, noting down who has each team.

But how should the money be split? Well, if you have 32 people in your office willing to play, you could make entry £5 per team with £100 for the winner, £40 for second place and £20 for third.

Alternatively, £2 per entry could be split up with £40 for the winner, £15 for second place, £9 for third place.

If you're playing among a smaller group of people, you could pick two or more teams each to ensure all are taken.

In the meantime, here are the fixtures and you can also try our World Cup predictor.

Whoever you pull out the hat... good luck!
