  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 As the identity of the CONCACAF v OFC play-off winners was not known at the time of the final draw, positions in the FIFA Rankings were not taken into account, and the placeholder in the draw was automatically seeded into pot 4.[4]
  3. ↑ Germany competed between 1951 and 1990 as West Germany.
