In the first round, the 16 lowest-ranked teams will compete in home-and-away ties on June 29 and July 3, 2011.

The eight winners will then progress to join another 22 teams in the second round, where 15 two-legged ties will be held on July 23 and 28.

The winners of the 15 second round ties will join last year's four World Cup finalists Japan, Australia, South Korea and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and Bahrain, who missed out to New Zealand in a final playoff, in the third round where they will be drawn into five groups of four teams on July 30, 2011 in the 2014 Brazil World Cup host city of Rio de Janeiro.

The group winners and runners-up will then be drawn into two pools of five teams with the top two of each claiming a place at the World Cup finals in Brazil.

The two third placed-sides then face off over two legs to decide who plays in a final tie against another continent for the final place in Brazil.
