For World Cup 2010 finals tournament 32 teams will have competing & will be the winners and runners up of the eight qualifying groups. These thirty two teams, divided equally into eight groups A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H each consisting of four teams. The groups are drawn up by the FIFA administration, again using seeding. The seeded teams being the host nations, the reigning champions, subject to qualification, and those with the best points per game coefficients over the qualifying phase of the tournament and the previous World Cup qualifying. Other finalists will be assigned to by means of a draw, using coefficients as a basis.
The eight groups are again played in a league format, where, in the 1st round, a team plays its opponents once each. Two teams that emerge with maximum points in each group progress to the 2nd round. The same points system is used (three points for a win, one point for a draw, no points for a defeat). A Schedule for the Worldcup group matches will be drawn up, but the last two matches in a group must
kick off simultaneously. The winner and runner-up of each group progresses to the 2010 World Cup Quarter-finals, where a knockout system is used (the two teams play each other once, the winner progresses), this is used in all subsequent rounds as well. The winners of the World Cup quarter-finals matches progress to the 2010 World Cup Semi-finals, where the winners play in the 2010 World Cup Final. If in any of the knockout rounds after normal playing time, the scores are still equal, extra time and penalties are employed to separate the two teams. Matches are arranged so that there
are always two games within a week, which is aimed at minimizing player travel time.
