In the playoffs, will attend the fifth zone of South America, the fourth of CONCACAF (Central America, North America and the Caribbean), the fifth zone of Asia and the winner of the Oceania qualifiers. For the World Cup finals in 2010 and a year the South American team had to play with that from CONCACAF (b.r. - Uruguay v Costa Rica), while the Asian game against that of Oceania (Bahrain vs New Zealand).
