Preliminarii CM 2010: Posibila schimbare a capilor de serie

FIFA a publicat regulamentul pentru CM 2010 -> fisier pdf. In articolul 17, pagina 20 apare urmatoarea dispozitie:

The FIFA Organising Committee decides on the format of play, the group formation and the duration of the preliminary competition. It forms groups and/or sub-groups for the preliminary competition by seeding and drawing lots whilst taking sports and geographic factors into consideration, as far as possible. The FIFA Executive Committee has to approve these decisions. Any seeding based on team performance for each continental preliminary competition will be based on the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking. The decisions of the Executive Committee are final. The preliminary draw will take place in Durban, South Africa on 25 November 2007.

Mai pe scurt, capii de serie pentru preliminarii vor fi determinati pe baza clasamentului FIFA, adica nu cum facea UEFA pana acum - media punctelor obtinute in ultimele doua campanii de calificare. CAF si CONCACAF au implementat deja aceasta schimbare, dar AFC a continuat sa foloseasca un sistem bazat pe performantele obtinute in preliminariile CM 2006. Ramane de vazut daca UEFA va schimba sistemul.

Multumiri lui Sagy care a descoperit acest punct din regulament.
