Quiz: Identify Every Country to Compete in World Cup History

This quiz aims to gauge your understanding of the tournament's extensive history.

Your task is to list every national team that has ever participated in a World Cup, including those making their debut in the upcoming edition. A crucial detail to note is that you must provide the name of each country exactly as it was known at the time of its appearance, which may differ from its current official name.
