Qualifying for the World Cup is a long process during the years between each quadrennial tournament. Each of FIFA’s six confederations determines its own qualification system, which produces the men’s teams that represent each confederation’s region. The six confederation regions are the Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF) in Africa; the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) in Asia; the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) in Europe; the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) across North America, Central America, and the Caribbean; the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) in Oceania; and the Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol (CONMEBOL) in South America.
