The South-American FIFA World Cup Qualifiers will run from September 2007 to November 2009, in a league format with home-and-away matches. The top four teams will qualify automatically for the World Cup, while the fifth-placed nation will face a team from the CONCACAF region in a home-and-away play-off scheduled for November 2009.
Brazil will play the following nine countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. The fixtures, which will be announced at the next CONMEBOL meeting in February, will all take place on FIFA dates.
The South-American World Cup Qualifiers will start shortly after Copa America 2007, which takes place in Venezuela in June-July and will be broadcast to more than 170 countries worldwide.
Brazil’s nine home matches will be made available by Traffic on an international satellite, with English audio guide and international graphics.
