This World Cup qualifiers diagram depicts a competitive match that a national association football team plays to qualify for one of the berths at the (men's) FIFA World Cup final tournament. Qualifying tournaments are held in each of FIFA's six continental zones, which are organized by their respective confederations: AFC (Asia), CAF (Africa), CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, OFC (Oceania), and UEFA (Europe) (Europe). FIFA determines the places in the finals allocated to each zone for each World Cup based on the number and relative strength of the confederations' teams.
