Introduction

This was the seventh World Cup, but the first to be held in PES2009. Because of the new platform, the field contracted to 64 nations who participated in this World Cup. UEFA, CAF, and CONCACAF each dropped in numbers while CONMEBOL remained the same. AFC actually expanded though, for the first time ever, as Thailand and United Arab Emirates were the only two new teams to take part in the competition. Additionally, Serbia competed separately for the first time since Serbia & Montenegro broke up. In the final 32 were 16 nations from Europe, 6 from Africa, 4 from South America, 4 from Asia, and 2 from North America.

Teams Entered: 64
Champion: England (1st)
Top Scorer: Rooney (7)
