"It is a very tough group, but I am sure that we can stand a good chance of qualifying. I am pleased that we did not have a six team group, and we have experience of playing in some of these countries recently at different age levels.

Group stage matches will be played according to a standard, home and away, league system, kicking off on 25 March this year and concluding with the final games on 10 September 2012. The ten group winners and four best runners-up will move on to the following month's play-offs, with the winners of those seven two-legged ties joining Israel in the final tournament. -
