FIFA World Cup Lower Division (User:HolySangkheili)

This page is a FIFA World Cup with the teams that were really close but failed to qualify. The host nation is the nation that failed the bidding process AND failed to qualify for the World Cup in that same year.
The 2002 FIFA Lower Division World Cup was originally supposed to be held in Iran but due to Israel qualifying, Iran refused to let them participate, therefore Uzbekistan asked Iran if they can host instead. Due to the War in Iraq, their capital of Baghdad only hosted Iraq's games while Jordan hosted the rest of the tournement in 2014 after they decided not to bid for the main competition.
