The 2021 FANA World Cup qualification process is a series of tournaments organized by the seven FANA confederations to decide the 48 nations that will compete in the 2021 FANA World Cup. 114 countries across seven confederations competed in the qualifying process. The qualifying process took place between 30 November 2020 and 2 April 2021. The qualification process also determined the countries which will get a chance at the inter-confederation play offs.
In addition to determining the qualifiers for the 2021 FANA World Cup, the qualification process also determined the qualifiers to the knock-out stages, otherwise known as the regional cups, which are held in one host country of each confederation. These are held independently from the initial qualifying process, and are expected to be held in April 2021, in the host countries of United States of Eldance (UWFA), Torlova (FCS), Lidonia (NFC), Flírskmasto (KFASS), Qasentria (COSSAF), Zylofonija (CLF) and Lakadamia (LTFC).
