For the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification, there were two scheduled inter-confederation play-offs to determine the final two qualification spots to the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
The four teams participating were:

|---|---|---|
| AFC | Fifth round (play-off) winner | |
| CONCACAF | Fourth round 4th place | |
| CONMEBOL | Round-robin 5th place | |
| OFC | Second round winner | |

This allocation allowed better start times of the matches than the previous one because teams were now in closer time zones. The draw for the order in which the two matches were played was held on 2 June 2009 during the FIFA Congress in Nassau, The Bahamas.[1]
