A total of 53 teams entered the 1958 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. The 1958 Football World Cup remained in Europe, this time being hosted by Sweden. ...

The qualification rounds for the four previous World Cups were very confusing, with controversial rules and many withdrawals. Trying to sanate this, FIFA delegated the organization of the qualifying tournaments to its confederations: UEFA (Europe), CONMEBOL (South America), CONCACAF (North, Central America and Caribbean), CAF (Africa) and AFC (Asia). This led to a more organized tournament, with clearer rules, but not yet withdrawal-proof. The 16 spots available in the World Cup would be distributed as follows: The Fédération Internationale de Football Association, universally known by its acronym FIFA, is the international governing body of football (soccer). ... UEFA logo The Union of European Football Associations, almost always referred to by the acronym UEFA (pronounced you-AY-fuh), is the administrative and controlling body for European football. ... CONMEBOL or CSF (CONfederación sudaMEricana de FútBOL, South American Football Confederation) is the governing body of football in South America. ... CONCACAF (the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football), also known as The Football Confederation, is the continent-wide governing body for association football in North America, Central America and the Caribbean. ... The Confederation of African Football (CAF; French: Confédération Africaine de Football) represents international football in Africa, and organises the African Nations Cup as well as the African Champions League. ... Asian Football Confederation Logo The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) is the governing body of football in Asia. ...

• 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 9 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 Africa and Asia group under this circumstance, FIFA required them to enter a play-off against a team from Europe who initially did not qualify, with the winner qualifying. Therefore, effectively in the end, a total of 11.5 places was granted to Europe while only 0.5 places was granted to Asia and Africa. Europe forms the westernmost part of Eurasia. ...
