The Football World Cup 2006 - European Qualification Groups are being held to decide which national football teams will represent the European football confederation UEFA in the final stages of the Football World Cup 2006 in Germany

Contents

Qualification process

Europe has been allocated 14 of the available 32 places in the tournament, one of which was automatically given to Germany as the host country.

The remaining 51 national teams in the confederation were split into 8 groups ; 3 groups of 7 teams and 5 groups of 6 teams. Within each group, all teams will play each other in a home-and-away competition - the winners of each of the 8 groups will automatically be allocated a place in the final stages.

A further two places will be allocated to the best two group runners-up.

The remaining three places will be allocated between the remaining six group runners-up based on the result of a further home-and-away tournament, each team playing each of the others twice.
