Since the second World Cup in 1934, qualifying tournaments have been held to thin the field for the final tournament. They are held within the six FIFA continental zones (Africa, Asia, North and Central America and Caribbean, South America, Oceania, Europe), overseen by their respective confederations. For each tournament, FIFA decides the number of places awarded to each of the continental zones beforehand, generally based on the relative strength of the confederations' teams, but also subject to lobbying from the confederations.\n\nThe qualification process can start as early as almost three years before the final tournament, and last over a two-year period. The formats of the qualification tournaments differ between confederations. Usually, one or two places are awarded to winners of Intercontinental Play-offs. For example, the winner of the Oceanian zone and the fifth-placed team from the South American zone entered a play-off to decide which team would qualify for the 2006 World Cup [11]. From the 1938 World Cup onwards, host nations have received an automatic berth in the finals. This right also used to be granted to the defending champion, but from the 2006 finals onwards, this entitlement has been withdrawn, requiring the champions to qualify as well [12].\n\n\n\nAFC -- In addition to the host countries Japan and Korea, two other teams from this confederation qualified for the finals. Forty teams played a round-robin style tournament, and, in the end, China and Saudi Arabia came out on top. \n\nCAF -- Fifty teams started the process in this confederation, and five made it to the finals. Cameroon, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, and Tunisia will all compete. \n\nCONCACAF -- In this confusing process, thirty-five teams started, and three teams qualified. The first round of qualifying consisted of two mini-tournaments and an inter-zone playoff. The three top teams in the final round, Costa Rica, Mexico, and the United States, qualified for the final competition. \n\nCONMEBOL -- Compared to the confusion of CONCACAF, this process was quite simple. Ten teams played in a tournament. The top four teams -- Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Paraguay -- qualified based on points (3 for a win, 1 for a draw) and advanced to the finals. Uruguay also qualified this year by winning a home-and-home playoff with the winner of the OFC qualification (more on that later). \n\nUEFA -- In the first phase of qualifying, the 50 nations in this confederation were separated into five pools based on past performance in qualifying for World Cup 98 and Euro 2000. They were then drawn into nine groups, and the winner of each qualified for the finals. The nine runners-up were then placed in a pot. Eight of the teams were randomly drawn to play in home-and-home pairings. The team that wasn't drawn (Ireland) played a team from the AFC (Iran) and won, earning a spot in the finals. So, after all the games, the teams that qualified are: Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Republic of Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Turkey. \n\nOFC -- Unlike the other confederations, a spot in the finals is not guaranteed for this group's winner. Ten teams compete for the opportunity to face the fifth-place CONMEBOL country in a home-and-home playoff.

Depends on several factors.  Trinidad and Tobago look like a good team, but if other teams surrounding them improve (Bolivia, Honduras, etc.) then they will have to fight to qualify.  T&T, though, look pretty strong.  So yeah, I think they will qualify again in 2010.

Each of the 8 groups have 4 teams. The 4 teams play each other once - 3 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, 0 points for a loss. After all the group matches are completed, the top 2 teams from each group move on to the knockout stages. Should there be a tie within a group between teams moving into the knockout stages, the following tie-breakers are used:\n\n1) Goal differential (goals scored minus goals allowed)\n2) Total goals scored\n3) Head-to-head result\n4) Drawing of lots (in essence, a random drawing - think coin-flip)\n\nOnce the top 2 teams from each group are set, pairings for the knockout stages are setup. Group A's top seed will face Group B's 2nd seed, and vice versa; Group C's top seed will face Group D's 2nd seed, vice versa, and so on.  Top seeds from Groups A, C, E, and G are on one side of the knockout bracket, with top seeds from Groups B, D, F, and H on the other side - this means it is possible for the top two teams from one group to face each other again in the World Cup Finals.

The better question is when will have better teams in the World Cup?  In some regions a lot better teams don't get in and some other regions get teams that aren't even competitive to meet the limit, but what are you gonna do.

16 teams advance to the next round.\n\nTherefore there needs to be 15 "losers" to determine the champion, so 15 more games to determine the champion, and a 16th game to determine 3rd/4th places.\n\nFor a team to win, they need to make it to the second round, and then win out.  This means a win in the final 16, a win in the quarter finals (final 8), a win in the semi finals (final 4) and a win in the finals (final 2).  Thus for a team to win the cup, they need to win 4 more games after they make it to the second round.\n\nThere are 6 games per group and 8 groups.  Therefore there are 48 group games and 48+16=64 games in all.

to the best of my knowledge from observing, you have to be sponsored by some league and qualify in their national and world competitions.  i'm sure it is tough, but go for it!

it differs from cup to cup, as does the world's country count.  There is no set amount of slots to participate.  any country may participate and the elimination rounds just keep paring them down like any play-off series.

the  teams  that  have  already  qualified  are  those  that  have  already  played  two  games  and  have won  both  of  them.  that's  six points  a guarantee  for  qualification.  their  third  game  is  to  decide  if  they  are  going  to  proceed  as no. 1  or  no  2 .to  second  round.  for  example  Germany  and  Ecuador.\n  for  teams  like  Ghana, us,  Italy  and  Czech non  of  them  has  won  two  games  and  non of  them  has  lost  two  games, so  their  third  game  is  going  to  decide.  right  now  all  of  them  have  chances  of  qualifying.

max 6 points needed to move to the next round\n3 points earned for a win\n1 point earned for a tie\n0 points for a loss\nties at the end of the round for each group result in lowest GD (Goal Differential) difference between goals for (GF) and goals against (GA).\n\nto extend on this... 197 teams around the globe qualify for 32 spots divided in groups of 4 (8 groups A-H).  Each team in each group plays one another (3 opponents = 3 games) which accounts for the first 48 games in the cup.  The top two teams of each group then compete in the round of 16 teams (beginning June 24 11AM EST on ABC in US).  Only 8 games (games 49-56) are played to decide the final four (Quarterfinals beginning 11AM ESTJune 30 on ESPN).  The final four games (Semifinals) begin July 4th to decide the final two and 3rd place positions.

I hope you're not trying to make this into a race issue, because it would be terribly lame.\n\nSoccer has been the most dominant sport amongst European countries for a very long time. By comparison, African countries have been producing World Cup teams only recently. \n\nIf the team is good enough, they will qualify. Take the US, for example, they are supposedly the "leader of the free world", but their team only recently began qualifying for the World Cup (and hasn't as of yet made it very far).

FIFA World Cup qualification is the process a team must go through to qualify for the FIFA World Cup Finals, or, more commonly known as the FIFA World Cup or Football World Cup. FIFA World Cup is a global event, and qualification is used to reduce the large field of participants from about 200 to 32.\n\nQualifying tournaments are held within the six FIFA continental zones (Africa, Asia, North and Central America and Caribbean, South America, Oceania, Europe), and are organized by their respective confederations. For each tournament, FIFA decides beforehand the number of spots awarded to each of the continental zones, based on the relative strength of the confederations' teams (and, some may argue, political considerations).\n\nThe hosts of the World Cup receive an automatic berth in the finals. Unlike many other sports, results of the previous World Cups or of the continental championships are not taken into account. Until 2002, the defending champions also received an automatic berth, but starting from the 2006 World Cup they also need to enter qualifying.\n\nIn the qualification process for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, 198 teams from the six FIFA confederations were allocated a share of the 32 spots available on the basis of the strength of their teams. The final distribution was as follows:\n\nEurope - represented by UEFA : 51 teams competing for 13 places (Germany qualified automatically as host nation for a total of 14 places) \nAfrica - the CAF : 51 teams, 5 places \nSouth America - CONMEBOL : 10 teams, 4.5 places \nAsia - the AFC : 39 teams, 4.5 places \nNorth, Central American and Caribbean - CONCACAF : 34 teams, 3.5 places \nOceania - the OFC : 12 teams, 0.5 places (not guaranteed a position). \nEach .5 indicates a place in inter-confederation matchups for the last two spots, namely playoffs between AFC and CONCACAF and between CONMEBOL and OFC.

The format is:\nExtra-Preliminary Round (any FA affiliated non-league club may enter if their ground meets certain standards)\nPreliminary Round\nFirst Qualifying Round\nSecond Qualifying Round (Conference north & south teams enter)\nThird Qualifying Round\nFourth Qualifying Round (Conference national teams enter)\nFirst Round (League 1 & 2 teams enter)\nSecond Round\nThird Round (Championship & Premiership teams enter)\nFourth Round\nQuarter Finals\nSemi-Finals\nFinal\n\nThe beauty of this system is that, should they get through, the smallest of teams can play the biggest sides. And, as Tottenham Hotspur proved in 1901, a non-league team can win the FA Cup!

The one with 'three' winners is the Intertoto Cup, I'm afraid. It's for teams who have missed out on Champions' League and UEFA Cup places and still want to play in Europe. They then have to apply to UEFA and wait for UEFA's approval, as there are limited places. The eventual winners of the Intertoto Cup get to play in the UEFA Cup. As of this season the Intertoto Cup has eleven, instead of three winners.\n\nI think the Euro tournament he's asking about is the one where all the European nations come together, like a sort of World Cup. This is held once every four years and teams play qualifying matches to see who will qualify for the main tournament. The next one will be held in Austria and Switzerland in 2008.\n\nThe following is the answer I gave to another question a while ago about the Champions League and the UEFA Cup:\n\nChampions League is for the top teams of a domestic league to participate in. Depending on the country's coefficent the league might get a maximum of up to 4 slots. Currently the countries with 4 slots are Spain, England and Italy. Next are France, Germany and Portugal with three slots, and so on.\n\nUEFA cup is for the teams finishing directly outside the CL spots in the league and also the winners of the domestic cup. This comes from the old Cup Winners' Cup, with was absorbed into the UEFA Cup in 1999. If there is an additional League Cup (like in England) then the winners of that will go into the UEFA Cup too.\n\nAgain, coefficents determines the number of UEFA Cup slots each country gets. Most of the top leagues have three, but Holland and Greece each have four, which they allocate to the cup holders and the teams finishing below the CL spots, i.e. 3rd, 4th and 5th. (They both have two CL spots).\n\nExample:\nEngland - Top 4 qualifies for CL. 5th plus FA Cup winner plus League Cup winner qualifies for UEFA Cup. If either cup winner qualifies for the CL then 6th in the league gets the UEFA slot. If both cup winners make the CL then 7th place gets the UEFA Cup spot as well.\n\nSpain - Top 4 qualifies for CL. 5th and 6th plus cup winner makes the UEFA cup. Same rule applies if cup winners makes the CL

I thing you have to contact with the clubs you want to sponsor, you have to Representative a big company or a known  mark, who be the face of the tournament, first putting the money and second doing all the necessary for the organization. if the exactly questions is how to write a proposal, you have to make a formal proposition, but i recommend you an interview(face to face)
