FIFA does not see Belarus on Europe’s map
2- 22.11.2007, 10:22
On November 25 Belarusian football team is to find out its contesters in a group of the World Championship 2010. A special ballot for places will happen in the South African city of Durban on that day.
53 European teams are to be divided into 9 groups with 6 teams in 8 of them, and 5 teams in the last. 13 teams will go to the World Championship. The winners of qualifying rounds will go there directly, while four other participants are to be defined by the results of play-offs between the eight best teams taking the second position.
Meanwhile Radio Racyja found an embarrassing mistake on the map of Europe at the FIFA internet page. It concerns our country. Belarus is not indicated on the map. Is it negligence or politics? Or maybe makers of the map did not know where Belarus is situated. Meanwhile, Belarus is written in the list of countries under the map.
