Seeding
It was agreed by a vote by the FIFA Organising Committee on who would be seeded. There were four seeds, which would first be placed in separate groups:
- Brazil
- Italy
- Uruguay
- West Germany (Hosts)
Then the remaining spots in the groups were determined by dividing the participants into pots based on geographical sections.
| Pot 1: Western European | Pot 2: Eastern European | Pot 3: South American | Pot 4: Rest of The World |

Famous quotes containing the word seeding:
“Propaganda has a bad name, but its root meaning is simply to disseminate through a medium, and all writing therefore is propaganda for something. It’s a seeding of the self in the consciousness of others.”
—Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)
