Frequently Asked Questions
What separates a Continental Championship from a World Cup in this atlas?
The dividing line is entry restricted to one continent or confederation, versus worldwide open entry for a World Cup.
Continental Championships covers championship tournaments restricted to national teams of one continent or confederation, such as the Africa Cup of Nations, the Copa America and the UEFA European Championship. Worldwide open-entry championships are grouped instead under Team and Ball-Sport World Cups, so the dividing line is whether entry is restricted to one continent or confederation.
