The 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification UEFA Group I was a UEFA qualifying group for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The group comprised 2010 FIFA World Cup winners Spain, along with France, Belarus, Georgia and Finland.

Spain won the group and thus qualified directly for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. France ranked among the eight best runners-up and advanced to the play-offs, where they were drawn to play home-and-away matches against Ukraine.[1] After losing the first match by two goals, they won the second by three, thus qualifying for the World Cup.
