32 nations qualify, with only the host guaranteed to qualify.  FIFA determines the number of qualifying spots for each confederation (for 2006, it was 14 [with the host] for Europe, 4 for South America, 3 for North America, 4 for Asia, and 5 for Africa, with 1 spot contested between the Oceania winner and the 5th South American team, and another contested between the 4th North American team and the fifth Asian team).\n\nEach confederation has a different procedure for qualifying, in terms of how many rounds are played, etc.  South America has one group where all 10 countries play each other twice.  Europe divides into eight groups, with each group winner and the top 2 second place teams qualified, while the other 6 second place teams paired off in home-and-home playoffs to determine the other 3 spots.  Africa had head-to-head playoffs to get down to 30, then had 5 groups of 6, with the winners qualifying.  Asia and North America had several stages of qualifying.

for the 06 world cup i believe a record number of around 202 national teams signed up to try and qualify for the world cup, higher than for any previous world cup. however in every world cup only 32 teams can play in the finals so qualifiers (qualifying games) are held starting from two years before the actual world cup to determine who will actually play. no one knows how many teams will try to enter the 2010 world cup they will start holding the qualifiers sometime in 2008 i believe...

Hello,\nI presume you are talking about the football worlcup\nIt started in 1930 In Uruguay, why? well the FIFA (the organisation in charge of the football competiton around the world) wanted at the begining leave the world cup into the olympics game (1908) but after the great world war, the FIFA and his president Jules Rimet changed their mind and decided to creat the World cup, they took the decision in 1928. The first edition had 13 teams (countries) vs 32 today.\n\nWell it's brief and i hope it will help you to start, if you need more info on the organisation or the cup your best try will be www.fifa.com

There will be 32 teams in the World Cup, each team allowed to select 23 players. 32 x 23 = 736. However, many of those players will not see any action. Assuming 15 players from each country see action in the World, that would mean 480 players taking part.
