FIFA confederations & qualification routes

The six confederations

UEFA (Europe), CONMEBOL (South America), CONCACAF (North/Central America & Caribbean), CAF (Africa), AFC (Asia) and OFC (Oceania) organise qualification. World Cup roster diversity spikes when smaller confederations send extra teams thanks to the expanded field.

Quiz angles

Expect distractors pairing nations from the same federation—similar flags, neighbouring capitals or parallel football histories. Studying federation abbreviations pays off faster than memorising every FIFA ranking point.
