SOCCER governing body, FIFA said on Thursday there would be no change in the number of qualification slots allocated to each continent at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

The decision means that Asia keeps 4.5 places, Oceania half a place, Africa five, Concacaf 3.5 and Europe 13. South America remain with 4.5 while Brazil will qualify automatically as hosts of the 32-team tournament, as South Africa did in 2010.
