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.
