After the conclusion of the 3rd day of the World Cup qualifiers for Brazil 2014, several national teams find themselves in a precarious position, needing positive results to keep their hopes alive. Notable nations facing challenges include South Africa, Morocco, Burkina Faso, and Cameroon.
The competition began in June 2012, with the 3rd day taking place nine months later. The 4th and 5th matchdays are scheduled for June, and the final one will be held in September 2013. In this format, only the top team from each of the ten groups advances to the third and final round of the qualifiers.
