CONCACAF petition FIFA for four spots

It's official.

At the 2010 CONCACAF Extraordinary Congress, Jack Warner announced CONCACAF will try to get four places for Brazil 2014.

The CONCACAF Executive Committee a day earlier unanimously voted to petition FIFA for four spots in the 2014 World Cup.

"Our members made it very clear today that we need four places," Warner said. "Our region is united behind this position."

Sepp Blatter, invited at the Congress, said in his speech: "The Fifa Executive Committee will definitely take a closer look at the possibility of a fourth spot for CONCACAF".

It remains to be seen if the FIFA EXCO will alter the allocation of places for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

2013 Africa Cup of Nations: Official qualifying system

CAF have announced the details of the qualifying system. Part of it was already described by Issa Hayatou last week.

Here's the official CAF announcement:

"Countries that do not qualify for the Orange CAN Gabon – Equatorial Guinea 2012 will play a first round eliminatory, with direct elimination, with a view to finding fifteen teams. The period from 15 January 2012 to 15 February 2012 was chosen for this first round.

If necessary, if the number of teams involved exceeds 45, a preliminary round would be organised. In this case, the criteria for the teams to undergo a preliminary round will depend on FIFA ranking.

The second round of qualifiers , also through direct elimination, will witness the fifteen qualified teams of the first round qualifiers to play against the fifteen teams (except Libya, host country of the 2013 edition and by consequence already qualified) that would have participated at the 2012 CAN, after complete draws.

If the Libyan team qualifies for the Orange CAN 2012, the fifteen other teams will directly play the second qualifying round of the 2013 CAN.

If Libya doesn’t qualify for the Orange CAN 2012, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea will play home and away play-off and the winner will participate in the second round qualifiers ."

Gabon and Equatorial Guinea will surely be rooting for Libya to qualify for the 2012 finals.

2013 Africa Cup of Nations: Qualifying system announced

Issa Hayatou, president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), described the qualifying system in an interview published on the Burkinabe portal LeFaso.net.

"Pour les qualifications, la formule est trouvée. Elle se déroulera en deux étapes. Déjà nous considérons les 16 qui auront jouer la phase finale en 2012 comme des exemptés du premier tour des qualifications. Les autres pays qui ne seront pas à la CAN vont s’affronter pour 16 places à prendre.

Une fois cette étape bouclée, il y aura une confrontation entre les 16 issues des qualifications et les 16 autres qui ont joué la phase finale de la CAN. Un tirage au sort sera fait et chacune des 16 finalistes de la CAN 2012 passée disputera en aller-retour, un ticket direct pour la CAN 2013. En clair, les 16 finalistes n’auront à disputer que 2 matchs avec le même adversaire alors que les autres joueront plus de matchs car il a fallu dégraisser pour ne garder que les 16 meilleures. Toutes les précautions ont été prises. Les garanties sont là. Tout est ok."

The qualifying system will have two stages.

  1. A preliminary stage to trim the number of teams down to 16. The 16 ACN 2012 finalists won't be involved. The format of this stage (straight knock-out, group stage, mix of both?) is unknown.
  2. A final stage involving the 16 teams qualified from the preliminary stage and the 16 ACN 2012 finalists. It will be straight knock-out stage (home and away) with the winners qualifying for the ACN 2013 (hosted by Libya).
There must be something wrong about it. Only 15 places are available, not 16, thus only 30 teams will play in the final stage, not 32. What happens with Libya?

  1. If Libya qualify for the 2012 finals, only 15 teams will qualify through the preliminary stage and they will meet the 15 ACN 2012 finalists.
  2. If Libya fail to qualify for the 2012 finals, only 14 teams will qualify through the preliminary stage.
