Baris 67: {{main\|Kelayakan Piala Dunia FIFA 1934}} 32 Pasukan negara memohon untuk memasuki kejohanan tersebut, jadi pusingan kelayakan diperlukan bagi mengecilkan kepada 16 Pasukan yang akan mara ke Pusingan akhir kejohanan. Walaupun begitu, terdapat beberapa pasukan tidak hadir. Juara Bertahan [[Piala Dunia FIFA 1930\|Piala Dunia]] [[Pasukan bola sepak kebangsaan Uruguay\|Uruguay]] enggan mengambil bahagian, kerana membantah keengganan beberapa negara [[Eropah]] untuk melancong ke Amerika Selatan bagi Edisi [[Piala Dunia]] yang lepas, yang mana Uruguay telah menjadi tuan rumah pada tahun [[Piala Dunia FIFA 1930\|1930]]. Hasilnya, [[Piala Dunia FIFA 1934\|Piala Dunia 1934]] merupakan satu-satunya di mana Juara bertahan tidak mengambil bahagian. Pertubuhan Rumah Bangsa, berada dalam tempoh menghilangkan diri dikenakan dari [[FIFA]], juga enggan untuk mengambil bahagian. Memandangkan ahli jawatankuasa [[Persatuan Bola Sepak Inggeris\|Persatuan Bola Sepak]] [[Charles Sutcliffe]] adalah tipikal sikap British: "[[Persatuan bola sepak kebangsaan England\|England]], Scotland, Wales dan Ireland mempunyai agak cukup untuk melakukan sendiri Kejohanan Antarabangsa yang Pada pandangan saya Kejohanan Dunia yang jauh lebih baik diadakan salah satunya di Rom". 32 countries applied to enter the tournament, so qualifying matches were required to thin the field to 16.<ref name="h23"/> Even so, there were several notable absentees. Reigning World Cup holders [[Uruguay national football team\|Uruguay]] declined to participate, in protest at the refusal of several European countries to travel to South America for the [[1930 FIFA World Cup\|previous World Cup]], which Uruguay had hosted in 1930.<ref>Crouch, ''The World Cup: The Complete History'', p. 16</ref> As a result, the 1934 World Cup is the only one in which the reigning champions did not participate.<ref>Glanville, ''The Story of the World Cup'', p. 25</ref> The [[Home Nations]], in a period of self-imposed exile from FIFA, also refused to participate. [[The Football Association\|Football Association]] committee member [[Charles Sutcliffe]]'s view was typical of British attitudes: "the national associations of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland have quite enough to do in their [[British Home Championship\|own International Championship]] which seems to me a far better World Championship than the one to be staged in Rome".<ref>Taylor, ''The Leaguers'', p. 217.</ref> Walaupun memainkan peranan sebagai tuan rumah, [[Pasukan bola sepak kebangsaan Itali\|Itali]] masih diperlukan untuk melayakkan diri, kali pertama negara tuan rumah tidak diberikan kelayakan secara automatik. Pusingan kelayakan telah diatur atas dasar geografi. Terkeluarnya [[Pasukan bola sepak kebangsaan Chile\|Chile]] dan [[Pasukan bola sepak kebangsaan Peru\|Peru]] bermakna [[Pasukan bola sepak kebangsaan Argentina\|Argentina]] dan [[Pasukan bola sepak kebangsaan Brazil\|Brazil]] layak tanpa bermain sebarang perlawanan. Despite their role as hosts, [[Italy national football team\|Italy]] were still required to qualify, the first and only time the host nation was not granted automatic qualification.<ref name="h23"/> The qualifying matches were arranged on a geographical basis. Withdrawals by [[Chile national football team\|Chile]] and [[Peru national football team\|Peru]] meant [[Argentina national football team\|Argentina]] and [[Brazil national football team\|Brazil]] qualified without playing a single match.<ref>Crouch, ''The World Cup: The Complete History'', p. 14</ref> Twelve of the sixteen places were allocated to Europe, three to the Americas, and one to Africa or Asia (including Turkey). Only ten of the 32 entrants, and four of the 16 qualified teams (Brazil, Argentina, United States and Egypt, the first African team to qualify for a World Cup finals tournament), were from outside Europe. The last place in the finals was contested between the [[United States men's national soccer team\|United States]] and [[Mexico national football team\|Mexico]] only three days before the start of the tournament in a one-off match in [[Rome]], which the United States won.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/world-cup/feature?id=696758&cc=5739&ver=global\|title=World Cup 1934\|publisher=ESPN\|accessdate=2010-01-01}}</ref> The majority of the 16 teams were making their first World Cup appearance. These included nine of the twelve European teams (Italy, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Sweden, Austria, and Switzerland) together with Egypt. Egypt would not qualify for another World Cup finals until the next time the competition was held in Italy, in 1990. ==Format Perlawanan==
