    I have tried here to list all of them. Might have missed something.

    1950: None but Syria and Israel qualified through UEFA>

    1954: None, but Italy's group was them and Egypt !

    1958: Wales - Israel 2-0 on aggregate

    1962: Spain - Morocco 4-2 on aggregate
    Yugoslavia - South Korea 8-2on aggregate
    Mexico - Paraguay 1-0 on aggregate
    Italy were also in a strange K/0 group with Israel Ethiopia and Romania, who withdrew. So I guess I will count
    Italy -Israel 10-2 on aggregate.


    1966: None but there would have been if the CAF nations had not boycotted

    1970: No real playoff but the AFC/OFC process involved Israel and
    Rhodesia (so teams from 4 current confederations)

    1974: Chile - USSR 2-0 Aggregate (walkover) Won't count this in stats)
