New Zealand Football has been in contact with FIFA and the global governing body have advised that the date set for the playoff will not be confirmed until after the fifth-placed side from Conmebol (South America) is known.
The All Whites' opponent could be one of a number of football superpowers from South America. Argentina are currently in fifth place, while Peru are fourth and Chile are in sixth position. Each nation will play two FIFA World Cup Qualifiers in the October international window.
Those two rounds of games are to be played on the 6th and 11th of October, New Zealand time.
