As hosting Member Associations, Portugal, Brazil and Morocco are automatically qualified to the respective FIFAe Continental Championships.

* Regions Asia West and Asia East will be combined to compete in the FIFAe Continental Championship Asia.

** Teams from the region Oceania will be separated from Asia East to compete in the FIFAe Continental Championship Oceania. The winner will advance to the intercontinental Playoff Match against Asia.

The qualification to the FIFAe Continental Championships is determined by Consistency Points and Qualifying-Week 3 of the FIFAe Nations League:

1) Consistency Point Slots

Consistency Points are awarded to nations with the strongest cumulative performances across all qualification weeks. Teams qualify to the FIFAe Continental Championships based on the consistency ranking standings after Week 3.

2) Week 3 Direct Qualification Slots

Direct qualification is awarded to nations achieving top spots during the Week 3 Knockout Stage.

Nations earning a Week 3 Direct Qualification Slot will qualify automatically to the FIFAe Continental Championships, regardless of their position in the Consistency Rankings. If a nation qualifies through both pathways, the corresponding Consistency Point Slot will roll down to the next highest-ranked nation in the consistency ranking standings.
