Seedings for the 2014 Fifa World Cup

Seeding for the draw is based on the October 2013 version of the FIFA World Ranking.^[3] Although the November 2013 rankings were the most current at the time of the final draw, the usage of those rankings would advantage those teams who had played additional play-off matches in order to qualify.^[4] Brazil were not among the top eight seeded teams at the time but, in keeping with usual FIFA World Cup procedure, were seeded by virtue of being the host nation.^[5] The top seven teams in the October 2013 FIFA World Ranking filled the remaining seeded positions.
