Ireland in Pot Three for World Cup draw
Wednesday, 27 July 2011 18:27
The Republic of Ireland will be placed in Pot Three for Saturday’s World Cup qualifying draw in Brazil.
The pot allocations are based on the current FIFA world rankings.
England are among the top seeds, placed in Pot One. France, currently ranked 15th in the world, will be in Pot Two.
Scotland and Northern Ireland are in Pot Four, while Wales’ recent struggles are reflected in their placing in Pot Six, alongside the likes of San Marino, Malta and Andorra.
Brian Kerr’s Faroe Islands are in Pot Five, and are level in 112th place with Wales in the FIFA rankings.
FIFA today announced that the 2014 World Cup finals will start on 12 June and finish on 13 July.
At a news conference in Rio, FIFA president Sepp Blatter also announced that a decision whether to introduce goalline technology would be taken at next March’s meeting in London of the International FA Board, the game’s lawmakers.
If approved, he said, it could be implemented at the World Cup finals two years later.
FIFA also announced that the World Cup play-off system, heavily criticised after Thierry Henry’s infamous handball for France against the Republic of Ireland, would be maintained.
