Introduction

This was the ninth World Cup, which returned to WE8, the seventh World Cup on that platform. Due to the change, there were fewer teams eligible to play in the tournament. All continents saw reduced participation, although there were new World Cup participants from UEFA such as Albania and Belarus. Martinique also made their debut from CONCACAF. In the final 32 were 14 nations from Europe, 6 from Africa, 6 from South America, 4 from North America, and 2 from Asia.
