Introduction

This was the eighth World Cup, but the first to be held in PES2010. After a contraction of teams for World Cup VII the field expanded wildly to 87 nations who participated in this World Cup - surpassing the previous record of 78 from World Cup VI. Every single continent saw at least one new nation enter qualification. UEFA returned to mostly its original count and had Montenegro making their debut. CAF and CONCACAF also saw the return of several teams who had not entered the previous tournament as well as one new comer each, Congo and Curacao respectively. CONMEBOL expanded for the first time ever with Bolivia and Venezuela joining the field. AFC also doubled in size as they expanded for the second consecutive time with the additions of Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, New Zealand, North Korea, Oman, Qatar, Syria, and Uzbekistan. In the final 32 were 14 nations from Europe, 6 from Africa, 6 from Asia, 3 from South America, and 3 from North America.

Teams Entered: 87
Champion: Argentina (1st)
Top Scorer: Rooney (7)
