World Rankings

Introduction

This was the tenth World Cup and it featured the largest field yet, with 113 teams entering the qualification stage. New teams included Estonia, Lithuania, and Macedonia from UEFA, Confederate States, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, and Panama from CONCACAF, Benin, Gabon, Reunion, Sierra Leone, and Zambia from CAF, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo from CONMEBOL, and Indonesia from AFC. Most of these teams had participated in other WEFA competitions though, namely their continental cups. Panama and Lithuania had actually both reached the semifinals of their respective tournaments. However, Benin, Reunion, and Sierra Leone were making their WEFA debuts in this competition.

This would also be the first World Cup where Georgia participated in AFC rather than UEFA, and it would be the first time that a confederation used multiple group stages in qualifying as AFC and CONCACAF each held a second round to determine direct qualification and playoff positions. International playoffs were a major feature yet again, accounting for 10 spots in the final tournament. It was possible for each continent to send: 10-20 nations from Europe, 5-13 from Africa, 2-10 from Asia, 3-8 from South America, and 2-8 from North America. In the final 32 were 13 nations from Europe, 6 from Africa, 6 from South America, 4 from Asia, and 3 from North America.

Teams Entered: 113
Champion: Argentina (2nd)
Top Scorer: Aguero (8)

Qualification

The Draw

The draw for each confederation was seeded based on team performance from previous World Cups and Continental Cups. There had been nine previous World Cups and two continental cups for each confederation, meaning teams had a total of 11 tournaments for seeding to be based off of. This obviously favored teams who had been playing since the original World Cup as these teams mostly made up all of the top seeds across the board; Georgia, Jamaica, and Mali were the only teams who had not participated in every World Cup that earned a top seed.

The Format

UEFA

UEFA's format was straightforward, 10 groups of 4 - group winners would qualify directly to the World Cup, runners up would advance to the playoffs, third and fourth place teams would be eliminated.

CAF

CAF had 5 groups of 5, where the group winners would all qualify to the World Cup. All 5 runners up would advance to the playoffs, along with the "best third place" team. The other 4 third place teams would be paired up to play an aggregate, where the 2 winners would advance to the playoffs, and the losers would be eliminated. In total, 5 teams would qualify directly and 8 would advance to the playoffs.

CONMEBOL

CONMEBOL would use 3 groups of 4 and have the group winners all qualify directly. All second place teams would advance to the playoffs and the "best third place" team would also advance, along with the winner of an aggregate between the two other third place teams. In total, 3 teams would qualify directly and 5 would advance to the playoffs.

CONCACAF

CONCACAF had 4 groups of 4, but only 2 automatic spots. They also had a half spot to be split with AFC, for a potential third automatic spot. As such, a "second round" would be played between all four group winners. The top two teams would qualify directly to the World Cup, the third place team would go to the AFC playoff, and the fourth place team would join all of the runners up in the playoffs. In total CONCACAF had 2 direct spots, a half spot against AFC, and 5 playoff spots.

AFC

AFC had a similar situation as CONCACAF, in which they had more groups than direct spots. They had 5 groups of 4 with 2 direct spots and 1 half spot to split with CONCACAF. This also lent itself to a "second round" where all five group winners would play a round robin to determine placement. The top two would qualify directly to the World Cup, the third place team would go on to play in the CONCACAF playoff, and the bottom two would join the group runners up in the playoffs. AFC had a total of 2 automatic spots, one half spot against CONCACAF, and 7 playoff spots.

AFC vs CONCACAF Playoff

AFC and CONCACAF each had 2.5 automatic spots for the World Cup, so their third place teams would play off to determine which team got that full spot. The loser would go into the playoffs with the other teams to fight for one of the remaining 9 spots.

Playoffs

36 teams would play aggregates to narrow the field down to 18, and then those remaining teams would play aggregates to determine the 9 qualifiers.
