Second Round

Indonesia withdrew after FIFA rejected their request to play against Israel on neutral ground.

Israel advanced to the Final Round automatically.

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

Final Round

Sudan refused to play against Israel for political reasons, so Israel would technically 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 played against each other on a home-and-away basis, with the winner qualifying. After Belgium refused, Wales, the runner-up of UEFA Group 4, was the team drawn from the UEFA group runners-up.

ISRAEL go to the UEFA / AFC Play-off
