In FIFA world cup tournaments, host nations are automatically qualified for playing in the group stages.
South Africa is the only host country which failed to go beyond the first round of the tournament.
This happened in the 2010 world cup held in South Africa.
In 2018 world cup, Russia managed to qualify for the quarter finals.
