How do teams qualify for the World Cup?

Teams qualify for the World Cup by surviving brutal regional qualifiers that weed out everyone except the worthy few. Spoiler: it’s exhausting, not glamorous.

The World Cup qualification process is a sprawling tournament nightmare held over years. Each continent’s football confederation runs its own knockout and group stages to decide who gets to crash the global party. Think lots of matches, points to tally, medals of heartbreak delivered. It’s a sieve that leaves only the best (or luckiest) teams standing for the main event.
