For the first time, the World Cup finals expanded from 16 to 24 teams. This allowed more countries to participate from Africa and Asia.
Teams absent from the finals were [[1974 FIFA World Cup|1974]] and [[1978 FIFA World Cup|1978]] runners-up [[Netherlands national football team|Netherlands]] (eliminated by [[Belgium national football team|Belgium]] and [[France national football team|France]]), [[Mexico national football team|Mexico]] (eliminated by [[Honduras national football team|Honduras]] and [[El Salvador national football team|El Salvador]]), and the three times 1970s participants [[Sweden men's national football team|Sweden]] (eliminated by [[Scotland national football team|Scotland]] and [[Northern Ireland national football team|Northern Ireland]]). Northern Ireland qualified for the first time since 1958. Belgium, [[Czechoslovakia national football team|Czechoslovakia]], [[El Salvador national football team|El Salvador]], [[England national football team|England]] and the [[Soviet Union national football team|Soviet Union]] were all back in the finals after 12-year absences. England had its first successful World Cup qualifying campaign in 20 years,<ref name="falklands">{{Cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20856004 |title=World Cup withdrawal considered amid Falklands War |work=BBC Sport |date=28 December 2012 |access-date=28 December 2012}}</ref> having qualified automatically as hosts in 1966 and as defending champions in 1970, then failing to qualify in 1974 and 1978. [[Yugoslavia national football team|Yugoslavia]] and [[Chile national football team|Chile]] were also back after missing the 1978 tournament.
[[Algeria national football team|Algeria]], [[Cameroon national football team|Cameroon]], [[Honduras national football team|Honduras]], [[Kuwait national football team|Kuwait]], and [[New Zealand men's national football team|New Zealand]] all participated in the World Cup for the first time. As of 2022, this was the last time that [[El Salvador national football team|El Salvador]] and [[Kuwait national football team|Kuwait]] qualified for a FIFA World Cup finals, as well as the last time that [[South Korea national football team|South Korea]] failed to qualify. This is also the last time that Mexico failed to qualify by playing (they were [[Cachirules|banned]] from the [[1990 FIFA World Cup qualification]]).

In Group C, with Brazil, Argentina and Italy, in the opener, Italy prevailed 2–1 over [[Diego Maradona]] and [[Mario Kempes]]'s side after a game in which Italian defenders [[Gaetano Scirea]] and [[Claudio Gentile]] proved themselves equal to the task of stopping the Argentinian attack. Argentina now needed a win over Brazil on the second day, but lost 3–1 – Argentina only scoring in the last minute. Maradona kicked Brazilian player [[João Batista da Silva|João Batista]] in the groin and was sent off in the 85th minute.
The [[Brazil vs Italy (1982)|match between Brazil and Italy]] pitted Brazil's attack against Italy's defence, with the majority of the game played around the Italian area, and with the Italian midfielders and defenders returning the repeated set volleys of Brazilian shooters such as [[Zico (footballer)|Zico]], [[Sócrates]] and [[Paulo Roberto Falcão|Falcão]]. Italian centre back Gentile was assigned to mark Brazilian striker Zico, earning a yellow card and a suspension for the semi-final. [[Paolo Rossi]] opened the scoring when he headed in [[Antonio Cabrini]]'s cross with just five minutes played. Sócrates equalised for Brazil seven minutes later. In the twenty-fifth minute Rossi stepped past [[Leovegildo Lins da Gama Júnior|Júnior]], intercepted a pass from [[Toninho Cerezo|Cerezo]] across the Brazilians' goal, and drilled the shot home. The Brazilians threw everything in search of another equaliser, while Italy defended bravely. On 68 minutes, Falcão collected a pass from Júnior and as Cerezo's dummy run distracted three defenders, fired home from 20 yards out. Now Italy had gained the lead twice thanks to Rossi's goals, and Brazil had come back twice; at 2–2, Brazil would have been through on goal difference, but in the 74th minute, a poor clearance from an Italian corner kick went back to the Brazilian six-yard line where Rossi and [[Francesco Graziani]] were waiting. Both aimed at the same shot, Rossi connecting to get a hat trick and sending Italy into the lead for good. In the 86th minute [[Giancarlo Antognoni]] scored an apparent fourth goal for Italy, but it was wrongly disallowed for offside. In the dying moments [[Dino Zoff]] made a miraculous save to deny [[Oscar (footballer, born 1954)|Oscar]] a goal, ensuring that Italy advanced to the semi-final.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.esquire.co.uk/culture/sport/6396/1982-why-brazil-v-italy-was-one-of-footballs-greatest-ever-matches/|title=1982: Why Brazil V Italy Was One Of Football's Greatest Ever Matches|publisher=Esquire.co.uk|date=30 May 2014|access-date=1 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150927181154/http://www.esquire.co.uk/culture/sport/6396/1982-why-brazil-v-italy-was-one-of-footballs-greatest-ever-matches/|archive-date=27 September 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|first=John|last=Foot|author-link=John Foot (historian)|title=Winning at All Costs: A Scandalous History of Italian Soccer|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NBufCsXpkVkC&pg=PA470 |page=470|access-date=1 July 2014|isbn=978-1-56858-652-6|date=24 August 2007|publisher=PublicAffairs }}</ref>

Line 1,042:
Although the fixtures were provisionally determined in advance, the teams competing in each fixture depended on the result of the opening match in each group: Should a team lose their opening game of the group, that team would then have to play in the second fixture against the third team in the group and the winner would, by contrast, be rewarded by not needing to play again until the final fixture of the group and therefore gained extra recovery time. If the opening game was a draw, the predetermined order of games would proceed as planned. These regulations helped ensure that the final group games were of importance as no team could already have progressed to the semi-finals by the end of the second fixtures.<ref name="Kicker">{{Cite news |title=Der Spielplan für die WM '82|date=May 1982|work=Kicker – Sonderheft WM '82 |page=3|language=de}}</ref>
