UEFA
[edit]Unlike other regions, UEFA organises a separate qualification process to decide the seven qualifiers.[5]
Format
[edit]The qualifying competition consists of five stages:[6]
- Preliminary round: The lowest-ranked 24 teams play in the preliminary round, and are drawn into six groups of four teams. The winners and runners-up of each group advance to the main round to join the 24 highest-ranked teams which receive byes to the main round.
- Main round: The 36 teams are drawn into twelve groups of three. The 12 winners and four best runners-up progress directly to the elite round. The remaining eight runners-up enter main round play-offs.
- Main round play-offs: The eight teams are drawn into four ties, to be played home and away. The four winners of the ties complete the elite round line-up.
- Elite round: The 20 teams are drawn into five groups of four. The winners of each group qualify directly for the World Cup, while the four best runners-up advance to the play-offs.
- Elite round play-offs: The four teams are drawn into two ties to play home-and-away two-legged matches to determine the last two European qualified teams. If only two teams enter, a draw will be held to determine the order of matches.
In the preliminary round each group is played as a round-robin mini-tournament at the pre-selected hosts.
In the main and the elite round, each team plays one home and one away match against each other team in its group.
