FIFA holds draw for World Cup prelims

CONCACAF's fourth-place team in World Cup qualifying will host South America's fifth-place team in a home-and-away series starting on November 14.

The series will conclude in South America on November 18, with the winner qualifying for the 32-nation World Cup finals in South Africa next year. It's the first time those two federations will meet in a World Cup play-off since 1962, according to FIFA.

The matchups won't be known until group qualifying ends.

Other World Cup preliminary matchups drawn yesterday will have the third-place team from Asia's Group A hosting the third-place club from Asia's Group B on September 5, with the series switching venues on September 9.

The eventual winner of that series will advance to a play-off against New Zealand, with Asia hosting the first game on October 10 and going on the road on November 14.

The finals draw takes place on December 4.
