Match Schedule: September 2012

September 2012 will forever be known as the month when Europe began their qualification cycle for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.  Defending world and European champions Spain will make the latest 2014 debut of any team that played in South Africa 2010 when they open their tournament on 11 September 2012.  Every team in the UEFA zone will make their debut this month.

In South America, Matchdays Seven and Eight are on deck.  Oceania open their Third Round of qualifying with a double matchday.  Asia have only one matchday on tap, the fourth of ten in their final round of qualifying.  North America push beyond the midway mark of their Third Round as they play Matchdays Three and Four.

The only three teams in danger of elimination this month are Antigua and Barbuda, Cuba, and Guyana.

Match times are given in Central Time (GMT-5).
