2014 FIFA World Cup seeding for CONCACAF teams (11 February 2011)

Next update: 1 April 2011

As usual with CONCACAF things are constantly changing. The draw won't take place on May 31st as some some papers in Central America have reported, but on July 31st. Which ranking will be used to seed the teams? Well... I don't know.

Here's the intermediate July 2011 ranking - it means the 2007 Gold Cup results are dropped, while the 2009 Gold Cup loses value. Of course, teams involved in the 2011 Gold Cup can climb depending on their performance.

  1. If CONCACAF qualifying takes place over a 25 month period (Oct 11 to Nov 13), will this help countries like Mexico, USA, and other WC hopefuls in the rankings? If you have those high multiplier matches in even the 24 to 36 month period that other confeds will not, it will help CONCACAF correct?

  2. Yes, it will help the WC teams. I think that Mexico or the US could clinch a seed (if FIFA stick to using the October 2013 ranking for the final seeding).
