The 2014 World Cup finals will have 32 teams participating, divided into eight groups, each group consisting of four teams.

Below is a panorama of the qualifying round journey of six FIFA member continental federations.

There are 13 teams along with host Brazil that are sure to attend the big festival next summer.

Africa

No team in this region has won a ticket to Brazil.

The final qualifying round of the African region saw the 10 group winners in the previous stage divided into five two-legged play-off matches.

The first leg of these matches has not ended yet, with the Ghana – Egypt match taking place tomorrow, October 15.

The return leg of these matches takes place in mid-November (Senegal – Ivory Coast, Nigeria – Ethiopia on November 16; Cameroon – Tunisia on November 17, Egypt – Ghana, Algeria – Burkina Faso on November 19).

Asia

Four teams won tickets: Australia, Iran, Japan, South Korea.

Asia, according to regulations, has four and a half places in the final round.

Jordan (red shirt) won the Asian play-off round, but still has to play another play-off round with the fifth team in South America to compete for tickets to Brazil.

The first leg of the Asia – South America play-off pair will be played on November 13 or 14 with the host Jordan.
