Between all the teams only thirty-two qualify. The process of figuring out how many places they are going to award to each continental zone takes everyone communicating with each other and all coming to an agreement. Little things like this add up and bring nations together. “For the 2010 World Cup they chose to give Europe thirteen teams to qualify, Africa five teams, South America four teams, North and Central America and the Caribbean three teams, Asia four teams, and in Oceania no team is guaranteed a place.” (Jade Fitzgerald ) The country that is hosting the event is guaranteed a spot too. After they are done deciding how many places they are going to award to each continental zone they decide who is going to play who. All the teams have to do now is fight for the World Cup. The World Cup takes planning by everyone; it is a lot of work for everyone not just the country it is being held in.
