About the competition system
UEFA Secretary-General Jenny infantino said that just like the 20 10 South African World Cup qualifiers, 53 countries will still participate in the 20 14 Brazil World Cup European qualifiers. These 53 countries will be divided into 9 groups, and the first place in each group will directly qualify for the World Cup finals. The second of the eight teams with the best results will be divided into four pairs for two rounds of home and away games, and the last four tickets for the World Cup in Brazil will be decided. The 53 national teams will be divided into 9 groups, including 8 groups and 6 teams, and the remaining 1 group has only 5 teams.
