Numbers in brackets show the current ranking based on the results from the last two WFC events or other IFF events if there had been no WFC participation.
* Countries with no ranking number were participating in their first IFF event and received a ranking after the WFC.

From Americas the top 2 teams qualified.

From AOFC the top 3 teams qualified.

From Europe, a total of 10 teams qualified according to the following:

- The two best teams from each qualification group qualified; and

- The the two best 3rd placed teams from all the EUR groups qualified

The calculation of the best 3rd placed teams followed this order: 1. Average number of points 2. Average goal difference 3. Average scored goals 4. Lottery drawing *

*Since the number of teams between the qualification groups differed, the group sizes were equalised by removing the results from the matches against the lowest placed teams in the larger-sized group before comparing the average results.
