2018 FIFA World Cup™

A total of 871 matches were played in the Russia 2018 qualifiers
Four nations made their debut in the competition
Italy were the only previous world champions to fail to make it through

It has been a long road to the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™, the longest in the history of world finals qualifying competitions in fact. For some it has been a mere stroll in the park; for others an arduous journey full of obstacles. Some 208 teams started out, but only 31 made it to the end, joining hosts Russia in next year’s world finals.

With the dust having now settled, FIFA.com takes a look at some of the qualifying competition’s quirkier statistics.

871 *The total number of matches played in the Russia 2018 qualifiers, a record. The first took place in Timor-Leste on 12 March 2015 and the last in Peru on 15 November 2017.

*63 *The number of World Cup qualifying matches Spain have now gone without defeat, a record La Roja can add to when the Qatar 2022 qualifiers get under way. Next on the list is Nigeria with 36.

*21 * The number of World Cup finals Brazil will have contested when they step out at Russia 2018.
