The number of slots allocated to each continent for the FIFA World Cup is determined by the FIFA Council, the governing body of international soccer. The allocation of slots is based on the relative strength of each continent's teams, as well as the size of the continent and the number of teams that participate in World Cup qualifying.Europe, as the home of many of the world's strongest soccer nations, is traditionally allocated the most slots for the World Cup. In the 2018 tournament, for example, Europe had 14 teams out of 32.Additionally, Europe is home to many of the world's top soccer leagues, including the English Premier League, La Liga, and the Bundesliga, which helps to produce many of the world's top players and teams. This also contributes to why Europe has the most slots in the World Cup.
TL;DR = Europe is doing more to develop the game, both in breadth and in depth.
