Two of those teams received automatic byes: the Celtic Alliance as the host country, and the Alpine Confederation as the 2006 champion. Nations in the five recognized regions by FIFA competed for the other 14 berths. The list of nations that have qualified are:
- Celtic Alliance (host country)
- Alpine Confederation (Europe Group A winner)
- Pais del Oro (Africa Group A winner)

News
n October 21, FIFA announced the selection for the 2014 World Cup, previously scheduled for Oct. 28 in Dublin, has been pushed back to December 4 to coincide with FIFA's World Congress and to allow for the final play-in series to be fully contested. Brazil is considered the overwhelming favorite, over the ANZC and Siberia, primarily due to the number of and quality of venues in the country, along with sufficient national infrastructure and expected large fan support for each match. Brazil also plans to use World Cup 2014 as a test-run for another major international sporting event it is pursuing: the 2016 Summer Olympics.
The FIFA World Congress, scheduled for December 2-4 in Dublin, features not only the selection of the host nation for the 2014 World Cup, but the following other items:
- The draw for World Cup 2010
- Awards for FIFA's 2009 World Footballer of the Year
- The entrance of several new members (such as Prussia and Canada) into the five regional confederations
- Voting on the expansion of the field from 16 to 24 teams and preliminary discussions on a new, permanent host site for FIFA's world headquarters, with presentations from Luque, Paraguay; Singapore; and Zurich, Alpine Confederation.
