Remarks:
• Only six of the teams qualifying for the final competition -
Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, France, Romania, and the USA - had
already attended the World Cup in 1930.
• The Irish Free State has been called Éire (Ireland Republic) since 29.12.1937.
• The modern Palestine, an Arab state, has no connection with the Jewish
delegation from Palestine (at the time a British
mandate).
• Argentina and Brazil qualified for the final competition without having to
contest any preliminary matches since they were
the sole representatives from the South American region following Chile and
Peru’s withdrawals.
• Czechoslovakia split up into the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 1993. After
the split, the politically separated countries still
fielded a joint team, the RCS (Representation of Czechs and Slovaks), for the
1994 remaining qualifying matches. First
entered separately as Czech Republic and Slovakia in 1998.
• Greece withdrew after playing one match, Poland after two matches.
