2010 FIFA World Cup qualification (inter-confederation play-offs)

For the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification, there were two scheduled inter-confederation play-offs to determine the final two qualification spots to the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Qualified teams The four teams participating were:

Confederation Placement Team AFC Fifth round (play-off) winner CONCACAF Fourth round 4th place CONMEBOL Round-robin 5th place OFC Second round winner

Format The ties themselves were not drawn, but were allocated by FIFA as: AFC fifth round winner v OFC second round winner CONCACAF fourth round fourth place v CONMEBOL fifth place

This allocation allowed better start times of the matches than the previous one because teams were now in closer time zones. The draw for the order in which the two matches were played was held on 2 June 2009 during the FIFA Congress in Nassau, The Bahamas.
