[Draft--not finished.]
The World Cup 1950 final tournament
was awarded to Brazil at the FIFA Congress in Luxembourg on 1 July 1946.
Brazil and Italy qualified automatically, the former as host nation and the
latter as reigning champions. The preliminary draw was conducted in
Geneva on 15 January 1949. It was decided that the British Championship of 1949-50 would double as the World Cup
qualifying group for the four home countries. Of the 34 teams that
entered, 25 took part. India, Scotland and Turkey waived their
places in the final tournament.
