World Cup Qualifying 2014 Playoff Draw: Date, Start Time, Live Stream and More

More than a dozen nations have clinched a berth in next summer's World Cup 2014 in Brazil, including the United States.

But there are still a handful of spots up for grabs as the qualifying playoff stage kicks off this fall. Ten African nations will battle for five spots in Brazil while eight European hopefuls will square off for four spots in November. 

Flying under the radar are two intercontinental matchups. The first will pit Jordan against the fifth place finisher in South America's CONMEBOL qualifying (currently Uruguay) while the second will see Oceania winner New Zealand battle the fourth place finisher in North America's CONCACAF fourth-round qualifying group (currently Mexico).

Below, we'll get you set with everything you need to know for this fall's playoff action. 

Inter-Confederation Playoffs

Jordan (AFC Fifth-Round Fifth Place Playoff Winner) vs. CONMEBOL (5th place)

First Leg: November 13-14, 2013

Second Leg: November 20, 2013

CONCACAF (4th place) vs. New Zealand (OFC Third-Round Winner)

Uruguay and Mexico Look to Qualify Through Playoffs Potentially 

Two proud nations with excellent World Cup traditions, Uruguay and Mexico are just barely hanging on in their respective qualifying groups this fall, and could likely wind up battling the likes of Jordan and New Zealand for berths next month assuming they are unable to make up any ground in their final group games this October.

Keep in mind that Uruguay won the World Cup in 1930 and 1950 while Mexico reached the quarterfinals in 1970 and 1986. Each would be a huge favorite in an intercontinental playoff matchup this fall.
