Qualification

Main article: 2007 FMF World Cup qualification

Due to the increased interest in the tournament after the success of the first, the FMF was structured into four regional confederations. Each of these confederations was assigned a quota of teams to be submitted for competition in the tournament, and qualifying rounds between their affiliates were established.

Automatic qualification

It was announced prior to the beginning of qualification that the winners of the previous tournament would be automatically given a place at the tournament. However, due to Beaugium leaving Micras, and therefore forfeiting their FMF membership, it was decided that the 2006 runners-up, Gaia, were to receive automatic qualification instead. After the qualification for the AEFA confederation, that which Gaia belonged to, had begun, Beaugium were reinstated as an FMF member after rejoining the MCS. Because of the AEFA qualification already being underway, Gaia were permitted to retain their automatic berth and Beaugium had to qualify via the WMFA's confederational qualifying.
