New Zealand earned the OFC slot with a narrow victory over Papua New Guinea, whose team will head to the inter-confederation play-offs along with Uzbekistan and Chinese Taipei.
Germany was the first European nation to secure qualification after winning its group in early June. Spain, Denmark, and France took the remaining UEFA automatic spots shortly after, while England fell short after losing heavily to Spain.
