My Qualification Tournament for the World Cup if I Was King of Sports

If I was King of Sports, then another spot would be given to the winner of a single-elimination knockout tournament (I might consider having the first round being a home and home so fans can see their team play in it at least once). In this tournament, the only teams invited are those nations who have never had a team play in the World Cup before. If there is no expansion, then it would be taken out of the European bid.

Here is what the first round of my tournament would look like:
