abstract:The FIFA World Cup qualification is the process that a national association football team goes through to qualify for the FIFA World Cup Finals. The FIFA World Cup is a global event, so qualification is required to reduce the large field of participants from about 200 to 32.
The huge budget helped TP Mazembe win the African Champions League title in 2009 for the first time in more than 40 years, and with it qualification for the FIFA Club WorldCup, a competition that pits the champions from the ruling body's six confederations against each other.
In 2005, the bureau of the FifaWorldCup organising committee reached a decision to invalidate the result of a WorldCupqualification match between Uzbekistan and Bahrain on the basis of a 'technical error by the referee of the match'.
