NationMaster - Encyclopedia: 1958 FIFA World Cup qualification

A total of 55 teams entered the 1958 FIFA World Cup qualification rounds, competing for a total of 16 spots in the final tournament. Sweden, as the hosts, and West Germany, as the defending champions, qualified automatically, leaving 14 spots open for competition. Qualifying countries The 1958 FIFA World Cup, the sixth staging of the World Cup, was hosted by Sweden from June 8 to June 28. ... FIFA World Cup qualification is the process a team must go through to qualify for the FIFA World Cup Finals, or, more commonly known as the FIFA World Cup or Football World Cup. ...

The qualification rounds for the four previous World Cups were very confusing, with controversial rules and many withdrawals. From this tournament onwards, FIFA decided to divide the teams into several continental zones, assign a pre-determined number of places in the final tournament to each zone, and delegate the organization of the qualifying tournaments to its confederations: UEFA of Europe, CONMEBOL of South America, CONCACAF of North, Central America and Caribbean, CAF of Africa and AFC of Asia (and OFC of Oceania after it was formed later). This led to a more organized qualification process with clearer rules, but not yet withdrawal-proof. The FÃ©dÃ©ration Internationale de Football Association, known worldwide by its acronym FIFA, is the international governing body of Football (soccer) and the largest sporting organization in the world. ... UEFA logo The Union of European Football Associations, almost always referred to by the acronym UEFA (pronounced (you-AY-fuh) or (oo-Ay-fuh) or ), is the administrative and controlling body for European football. ... CONMEBOL or CSF (CONfederaciÃ³n sudaMEricana de FÃºtBOL, South American Football Confederation) is the governing body of football in South America. ... CONCACAF (the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football) is the continent-wide governing body for association football in North America, Central America and the Caribbean. ... CAF Logo The 53 member Confederation of African Football (CAF; French: ConfÃ©dÃ©ration Africaine de Football) represents international football in Africa, and organises the African Cup of Nations as well as the African Champions League. ... Asian Football Confederation Logo The 46 member Asian Football Confederation (AFC) is the governing body of football in Asia, excluding Cyprus and Israel. ... Oceania Football Confederation logo since 1998 The Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) is one of the six continental confederations of international football. ...

The 16 spots available in the 1958 World Cup would be distributed among the continental zones as follows:

Europe (UEFA): 11 places, 2 of them went to automatic qualifiers Sweden and West Germany, while the other 9 places were contested by 27 teams.
South America (CONMEBOL): 3 places, contested by 9 teams.
North, Central America and Caribbean (CONCACAF): 1 place, contested by 6 teams.
Africa (CAF) and Asia (AFC): 1 place, contested by 11 teams (including Israel, Cyprus and Turkey).

However, FIFA also imposed a rule that no team would qualify without playing at least one match because many teams qualified for previous World Cups without playing due to withdrawals of their opponents. Because Israel won the African and Asian zone under this circumstance, FIFA required them to enter a play-off against a team from Europe who initially did not qualify, with the winner of this play-off qualifying. Therefore, effectively in the end, a total of 11.5 places were granted to Europe while only 0.5 places were granted to Africa and Asia.

CAF / AFC Second Round

Indonesia wanted to play against Israel on neutral ground, but FIFA did not accept, and Indonesia withdrew. Israel advanced to the Final Round automatically.

Egypt withdrew, so Sudan advanced to the Final Round automatically.

[edit]

CAF / AFC Final Round and Play-off

Sudan refused to play against Israel. Technically, Israel would qualify automatically, but before the qualification rounds began, FIFA ruled that no team would qualify without playing at least one match (except for the defending champions and the hosts), and Israel had yet to play any. So a special play-off was created between Israel and the runner-up of one of the UEFA Groups, where the teams would play against each other on a home-and-away basis, with the winner qualifying. After Belgium declined, Wales, the runner-up of UEFA Group 4, was the lucky team drawn from the UEFA group runners-up.
