Qualification
Russia qualified automatically as the host nation, leaving 31 bids under contention.

This was the first World Cup to take place after the merger between the AFC and the OFC, which created the AOFC. As a result, CONCACAF was now given four places in the finals. In addition, CONMEBOL was given a fifth guaranteed place in the tournament, eliminating the intercontinental playoffs.

Uzbekistan, Panama, and Venezuela qualified for the finals for the first time.
