Teams to appear at just one World Cup...
An international football quiz I've just made if anybody would like to have a go.
Twenty national sides have played at just one edition of the men's FIFA World Cup (finals) and there are six minutes to try and name as many as you can — do let me know if you think this time limit is fair or not.
A few of the answers are teams that have only played at the World Cup once since becoming independent but they made multiple appearances at the finals when part of larger, now-defunct countries.
In its sole qualification for the WC finals, one of the answers played against (and beat) the team it later reunified with.
Two of the answers made their appearances at the World Cup under old names, and these are shown alongside their current names when guessed correctly — both the former and present names are accepted as answers.

Excellent quiz. My mistake was trawling by through Eastern Europe rather than Africa for the ones long forgotten. |  |

Same. Given the relative recency of it, I had completely forgotten some of the teams that qualified that year. |  |

Didn’t type in what I suspect is the same 2006 answer as they feel like they’re at most world cups.
11 for me, suspect I would have gotten a few more if not for the tight time constraint. |  |

Four new qualifiers that year — it’ll be interesting to see how many may be added to the list for 2026 seeing as the number of teams will increase to 48. | |

Got some early ones like Dutch East Indies but struggled with the 2006 WC for some reason. |  |

Thank you to all for your attempts and comments. Some great scores.
The 2006 WC was probably the first one I remember paying attention to and so a few of those debutants stick in my head, particularly as they are non-European countries that seem a bit more obscure and perhaps out of place at a major tournament. I wouldn't have guessed the European team that debuted at the finals that year and I honestly would have thought that they'd been there more than once since becoming independent. They've since played at four consecutive Euros.
Hoping for a few more obscure names to be there in two years' time to spice things up. For the first time, there will be a guaranteed qualification spot for the Oceania region, and it would be interesting if a team other than New Zealand managed to do it (nothing against the Kiwis) although we could potentially then end up with a Spain vs Tahiti at the 2013 Confederations Cup situation... | |
