Can someone example how teams like New Caledonia and Burkina Faso are in this? Like that’s probably a stupid question but you wouldn’t expect them to be in the senior World Cup, have they just got a decent number of good talent at that level? Just seems strange that nations that small are in it compared to senior level where you’d get bigger nations, especially since I can’t see teams like the Netherlands there?

Conveniently makes the next two editions be hosted by multiple countries so those continents can’t host again so that Saudi Arabia can host one by themselves to hog the spotlight.
