Another debutant for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

They don’t call it the world game for nothing.

According to FIFA records, 76 nations will have competed in the 19 World Cup tournaments by the end of the 2010 edition.

From the might of five-time champions Brazil, to one-game-wonders Indonesia – who actually competed in the 1938 World Cup as the Dutch East Indies – the World Cup is not only a festival of football but also of cultures.

The number of participants has hit its current total as Slovakia make their debut on football’s greatest stage.
