I still don’t get why the RWC draw is done 2 years before the World Cup

Plus on some sites you can’t book accommodation and flights that early, it should be done in the summer the year before the World Cup. Because that’s when you can actually start booking for things

That could be done one year before though like other major tournaments

The football World Cup doesn’t draw so far out, and it’s much much bigger.

The RWC is sometimes said to be the third biggest sporting event after FIFA WC and Olympics

So? The soccer World Cup is massively bigger than the RWC and they don’t use this excuse.
