'''World Cup 98 qualification''' was a series of games to determine the 45 teams that will join hosts [[Tikariot national football team|Tikariot]], [[The Kytler Peninsulae national football team|The Kytler Peninsulae]] and [[Qusmo national football team|Qusmo]] at the [[World Cup 98]] finals.

{{TOC limit|2}}
==Format==
The qualification structure was as follows:
* '''Group stage''': The 144 qualifying entrants were divided into 18 groups of 8 teams to play home-and-away [[w:Round-robin tournament|round-robin]] matches. The winners and runners-up of each group directly qualified for the World Cup finals, while the third-place teams advance to the playoffs.
* '''Playoffs''': The 18 third-place teams were paired into nine single-leg playoff ties to be played at neutral venues in the host nations. The winners of each tie qualified for the World Cup finals.

===Tiebreakers for group ranking===
In the group stage, the ranking of teams in each group was based on the following criteria:
# [[w:Three points for a win|Points]] in all group matches;
# {{wp|Goal difference}} in all group matches;
# Points in matches between tied teams;
# Goal difference in matches between tied teams;
# Wins in all group matches;
# Wins in matches between tied teams;
# Penalty shoot-out (OOC: a scorinated playoff match).
Ties were broken recursively: in the event that more than two teams are initially tied and at least one team won or lost a tiebreaker, the tiebreaking procedure restarted from the first tiebreaker for any teams which were still be tied. This did not apply in the case of penalty shoot-outs, which would continue until the tie is completely broken.

===Criteria for overall ranking===
The overall ranking, used to seed third-place teams for the playoffs, was based on the following criteria:
# Position in the group;
# Points in all group matches;
# Goal difference in all group matches;
# Wins in all group matches;
# Points away from home;
# Goal difference away from home;
# Wins away from home;
# Penalty shoot-out.

==Draw==
Teams were seeded into one of eight pots according to the 98.1 [[KPB+ ranking system|KPB+ Rankings]], including results at [[Baptism of Fire 85]]. Teams in each pot were drawn consecutively into Groups 1 to 18. The positions of each team in their group (for the purposes of determining the match schedules in each group) were determined by a code assigned to the group: each code contained the digits 1–8 inclusive in a randomised order, with digit ''n'' in this code being the scheduling position of the team in Pot ''n''.
