In total 202 of
the 208 FIFA member federations take part in the qualifiers. As the host
nation, Brazil automatically qualifies for the tournament. On March 3, 2011 during a meeting in Zurich,
FIFA ruled that the distribution of the 31 seats, excluding these the host
Brazil, would be: Asian Football Confederation: 4 or 5 berths, Confederation of
African Football: 5 berths, CONCACAF: 3 or 4 berths, CONMEBOL: 4 or 5 berths,
Oceania Football Confederation: 0,5 berths and UEFA: 13 berths. We already know
the qualified teams: Brazil, Japan, Australia, Iran, South Korea, Netherlands, Italy,
Costa Rica, United States, Argentina, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Colombia,
Russia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, England, Spain, Chile, Ecuador and Honduras.
Still, we need to know the name of others 11 teams to complete the 32 berths
for the World Cup.
