Eight more teams qualify

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 14:02
In a dramatic weekend of football, the USA, Ivory Coast, Germany, Denmark, Serbia, Mexico, Italy and Chile all successfully booked their spots for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

"Not only are we excited about the number of teams that have qualified for 2010 over the last weekend but we are equally impressed with the calibre of teams that have now secured their place among the 32 competing in next year's World Cup," said LOC Chief Executive Danny Jordaan.

The eight qualified teams joined Brazil, Ghana, Netherlands, Paraguay, Spain, England, North Korea, South Korea, Australia and Japan — to make up the 19 qualified teams to date, including hosts South Africa who qualify automatically.

This leaves 13 available positions to make up the 32 teams that will play in the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

"We welcome these teams to South Africa next year. There might only be one winner at the end of the tournament but all 32 teams can be guaranteed that they will be part of the greatest World Cup ever. The stadiums are almost complete and we are applying the finishing touches. We will be ready to welcome the world in 2010," added Jordaan.
