## इतिहास
### १९३४ ते २०१० पात्र संघांची यादी 
शेवटचा बदल: १२ मार्च २०१०.

**1**Egypt and Syria formed a joint association in 1960 and entered the preliminary competition for World Cup 1962 as a joint team, called United Arab Republic, though they withdrew before playing any game. Later, Egypt entered the preliminary rounds for World Cup 1966 under the name of United Arab Republic, but withdrew yet again before playing.

**2**FIFA actually consider both Czech Republic and Slovakia as successors of former Czechoslovakia team. Czechoslovakia, RCS and Czech Republic together have a record of 118 World Cup qualifying matches played (67 wins, 23 draws, 28 losses, 236 goals scored, 97 goals allowed, and 224 soccer-points scored). Czechoslovakia, RCS and Slovakia together have a record of 116 World Cup qualifying matches played (64 wins, 26 draws, 26 losses, 228 goals scored, 110 goals allowed, and 218 soccer-points scored).

**3**Congo entered the preliminary competition for World Cup 1966 as French Congo, but their entry was not accepted by FIFA.

**4**The federation ruling Vietnam national football team now seems to have been established in North Vietnam (that never entered the World Cup), so it seems to make more sense not to merge the results of Vietnam and South Vietnam.

**5**Sri Lanka entered the preliminary competition for World Cup 1974 as Ceylon, but withdrew before playing any game.

**6**Myanmar entered the preliminary competition for World Cup 1950 as Burma, but withdrew before playing any game.

### संघटनेनुसार संघ माहिती 
The table below lists the numbers of spots allocated by FIFA for each continent in each tournament. Places in the intercontinental play-offs count as 0.5 spots. Numbers in bold represent the winners of the intercontinental play-offs. "+C" denotes an additional spot for defending champions. "+H" denotes an additional spot for hosts.

* 1 In 1938, ऑस्ट्रिया withdrew after qualifying due to being annexed by Germany and were not replaced, so only 15 teams, 12 of them European, played in the finals.
* 2 In 1950, India, Scotland and Turkey withdrew after qualifying and were not replaced, so only 13 teams, none of them Asian and 6 of them European, played in the finals.
* 3 Initially in 1958, Africa and Asia together were given 1 spot, while Europe was given 9 spots. However, after Israel won the African and Asian zone without playing any matches due to withdrawals of other teams, a special play-off was arranged between them and a European team (Wales). So in effect, Africa and Asia together were given 0.5 spots, while Europe was given 9.5 spots.
* 4 In 1962, Europe was given 8 automatic spots, plus 2 additional spots in the intercontinental play-offs, in effect giving them 9 spots. The two European teams played an African team and an Asian team respectively, and both European teams won. Therefore, 10 European teams played in the finals.
* 5 In 1994, there were two rounds of intercontinental play-offs. First, an Oceanian team played a team from North and Central America and Caribbean, and the winner then played a South American team.
* 6 From the 2006 qualifiers on, the defending champion no longer has an automatic spot secured.
* 7 In 2014, the champion of Oceania qualification will join the final round of Asia qualification.

### Qualification competition entrants over time 
The number of teams entering the qualification process and the number of matches played have been steadily growing over time.

* 1 Because the Oceania Football Confederation has used the World Cup Qualifiers as a phase of (or as the entire) Oceania Nations Cup, there is the possibility for non-FIFA countries to enter in matches that double as World Cup qualifiers. In the 2006 qualifiers, New Caledonia were included in the tournament although they were not FIFA members at the date of close of entries. They are, however, included in the 12 nations listed as they joined FIFA during the course of qualification, even though they had been technically eliminated from contention a few days earlier (a similar situation occurred in the entries for 2010, with Montenegro's entry accepted prior to their admission by FIFA). By contrast, Tuvalu have entered the 2007 South Pacific Games Football tournament, which double as qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup. They are not included in the 11 OFC entrants, although their results will have an impact on qualification.
* 2 "Teams played" is the total number of teams that played at least one qualifying match.
* 3 This number include Tuvalu and South Africa. Although South Africa were automatically qualified for 2010 as hosts, they competed in the CAF qualifiers, becoming the first hosts to compete in World Cup qualifying since 1934. This is because the Confederation of African Football used its 2010 World Cup qualifiers as the qualifying phase for the 2010 African Cup of Nations, a tournament for which South Africa had to qualify separately.

### पात्रते साठी पदार्पन 
* 1 Despite being the hosts, Italy had to qualify to the tournament.
* 2 Only teams that played at least one match are considered for the purposes of first appearance. Teams that withdrew prior to the qualification, or that qualified to the World Cup automatically due to another team's withdrawal are not considered and written *Italics*.
* 3 First appearance as Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia; previous appearance as Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
* 4 First appearance as Israel; previous appearances as Palestine.
* 5 First appearance as Suriname; previous appearances as Dutch Guiana.
