How do you qualify for the world championships in ice hockey?

Answer 1

Wow! It requires a LOT of training, a lot of dedication, and since Olympic sports are actually EXTREME sports, it requires a development of your attitude that is exceptionally focused on success REGARDLESS of your perceptions! Almost all Olympic contenders start REALLY young! It is not uncommon for "gifted" athletes to start training as young as 6 years old before they are old enough to qualify. Usually, hopefully, this is because the parents notice an athletic interest in their child and NOT because the child is "herded" into the activity! A male child likes trains? Buy him childrens' train books and train toys and model trains and talk to him about trains! A child likes to run competitively as a natural pastime? Then challenge him or her to run with you for "the best time", the "best endurance", and encourage him or her to join a children's athletic club! The rest will follow. The first aspect is, and I do not know if your question is related to YOUR interest or if this is just a general interest question or if this question is related to someone you know, but, HOW GOOD are you / is your friend or relative ??? I mean, in whatever aspect of athletic prowess you are considering, is there something abnormally outstanding about this person or about you? Do you or someone else swim better, faster, with more stamina than anyone else you see around you/him/her ????? That is a clue as to whether to go further in this pursuit. The second aspect is, if this is a noticeable trait, have you or has this person sought a training advisor, a professional trainer, or an organization that nurtures Olympic hopefuls? Yes, there are groups... some of them FUNDED by donations, to develop private groups of Olympic hopefuls to the point that they are legitimate contenders. Then there are those athletes who just rise naturally in the high school and college system and come to the attention of Olympic scouts, or a coach may recommend a student who rises to state finals or beyond to the Olympic training committee. I do not know how else to answer your question.

Countries that are members of FIFA must compete in qualifying matches prior to the start of the actual FIFA World Cup. These qualifying matches determines the teams' participation in the tournament, and its FIFA ranking.

Teams only compete against other teams that are from the same federation (i.e. the United States' team only competes with teams from the CONCACAF (Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football)).

FIFA allocates a certain number of teams from each federation to qualify. For example, in the 2010 FIFA World Cup, FIFA allowed only 4 teams from the AFC (Asian Football Confederation) to qualify for the tournament, meaning no more than 4 Asian countries were allowed to participate in the tournament.

Recently, FIFA regulations determined that 32 countries would be allowed to qualify for the tournament.
