The remaining eight teams were drawn into one of the remaining eight positions from Teams 1 to 10 ( except 4 and 5 ). Entrants All 10 national teams from CONMEBOL entered qualification. Note : Bolded teams qualified for the World Cup. Italicised team advanced to the inter-confederation play - offs.
