There are a series of (complicated!) qualification rounds played in the couple of years run up to the actual cup, check here: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/feature?id=275159&cc=5739 for more info. |
Thanks for the link. It seems it's different from country/region to country/region.
A couple
years? That seems like a long time for a team to maintain its supremacy in any sport.
