Qualification

This world cup would be the first to not be invite-only, and include a qualification round. Solan, the hosts, automatically qualified. Furthermore, because of organisation difficulties, North Qatesh and East Qatesh nations would be assigned a set number of slots but would not have a qualification round, with nations being invited by the IFP. West and East Alaxia's confederations would combine into one qualification system, while Acoria would have a separate qualification system. The two intercontinental playoffs would be between Alaxia and East Qatesh; and Acoria and North Qatesh.

Alaxian qualification

Qualification in the West and East Alaxian confederations were merged to have a much larger tournament. The combined Alaxia had 12 slots in the World Cup, with an extra potential one pending intercontinental results. The tournament would be held in two parts. The first round would see five groups drawn consisting of six teams each, excluding Group A and Group B which had five due to only a total of 28 countries involved. Groups were drawn using pots that approximated similar team strength. The first and second placing countries in each group would qualify for the World Cup, while third placing countries would go to the second round. The second round was a sixth group consisting of all five third-placers. The first and second placing countries here qualified for the World Cup, with the third placing country going to an intercontinental playoff with an East Qateshi nation.

In the first round, 2 games would be played per fixture, while in the second round it was just 1 game per fixture. 110 matches were played across all six groups. To read the table, the score on the left was achieved by the team named on the row, while the score on the right was achieved by the team's flag shown in the column header. Concerning the first round: the matches played on the top-right were played first, across matchdays in 2453; the matches played on the bottom-left were played second, across matchdays in 2455. Concerning the second round, All matches were played in the matchdays in late 2455 and early 2456. The intercontinental playoff between East Qatesh would be played in March 2456.

Final

Some Fazarian fans say that a goal by Fazar in the 68th minute that was disallowed due to the offside rule was unfair, and that the game should've ended in a draw and then penalties to which Fazar could've win. Fazar thus appealed but the result did not change in their favour.
