{{main|1970 FIFA World Cup qualification (AFC and OFC)}}

*'''First Round''': Australia, Japan, South Korea and Rhodesia were included in group A, but the other three countries involved refused to play against Rhodesia due to political concerns regarding apartheid.<ref>[https://austsoccer.blogspot.com/2018/09/1969-st-george-world-cup-drama.html Australian Soccer 1965 to 1977 and beyond - World Cup drama]</ref> Australia, Japan and South Korea played against each other twice in South Korea and after the matches in Seoul were completed, FIFA determined that the winner would still have to meet Rhodesia in what resulted to be the second round of Group A. North Korea was included in Group B but withdrew for political reasons and the group was contested by only two teams. The group winners would advance to the Final Round.
*'''Final Round''': The 2 teams played against each other on a home-and-away basis. The winner would qualify.

==Notes==
{{notelist}}
*In the African zone, [[aggregate score]] was used to determine the winners of two-legged ties. However, different tie-breakers were used in the matches when the aggregate score was tied.
*Morocco was the first African team to qualify since Egypt in the [[1934 FIFA World Cup|1934 World Cup]].
*As a result of the hostile relationship between [[El Salvador]] and [[Honduras]], and rioting during the qualification matches between them, the short-lived [[Football War]] broke out between the two countries.
*Israel qualified for their only World Cup to date as an Asian team. However, soon after this, they were expelled from the [[Asian Football Confederation]], and now compete in the European zone as they are now a member of [[UEFA]].
