The problem is, that - to my knowledge - Turkey was never an AFC team. They joined FIFA in 1923, but did not join a regional group until 1962, when they joined UEFA. So Turkey was never qualified for the unofficial AFC title. Correct me if i'm wrong...

Germany won their preparatory match versus Hungary by 3-0. The next match against Bosnia-Herzegovina (on Thursday) will be the last friendly match prior to FIFA world cup in South Africa. UEFA (Europe): Germany - next match on 03/06/2010 vs. Bosnia-Herzegovina CONMEBOL (S.America): Peru - next match not sheduled CONCACAF (remaining Am.): Mexico - next match not sheduled AFC (Asia): Iran - next match on 07/09/2010 vs. South Korea CAF (Africa): Egypt - next match on 11/08/2010 vs. Togo OFC (Oceania): Fiji - next match not sheduled This means, we are just one step away from nailing down the unofficial champions which will take part in WC 2010. Germany will play Bosnia-Herzogovina and Netherlands (UFWC) will play Ghana and Hungary. So on 05/06 we will know  |

Surprisingly, yesterday Germany was defeated by Serbia 1:0. Let's see if Serbia can make it through the group phase. Otherwise their next sheduled match is on 11 August against Greece.

Serbia didn't make it through the group phase so unfortunately the European title won't be competed anymore in South Africa.

Also the unofficial CONCACAF title won't be defended any more in South Africa, because Mexico is the only country from that region which is still in the tournament (and if Mexico is kicked out by Argentina tonight there won't by any left at all).
Time to make a roundup again:
UEFA (Europe): Serbia - next match on 11/08/2010 vs. Greece
CONMEBOL (S.America): Peru - next match not sheduled
CONCACAF (remaining Am.): Mexico - next match not sheduled
AFC (Asia): Iran - next match on 07/09/2010 vs. South Korea
CAF (Africa): Egypt - next match on 11/08/2010 vs. Togo
OFC (Oceania): Fiji - next match not sheduled

One little nitpick: CAF champion Egypt will play against DR Kongo (not Togo) on 11/08/2010

1) AFC champ Iran will take on China PR on 03/09/2010
2) The match between CAF champ Egypt and DR Kongo has been canceled (does anyone know the details?), but Egypt will play Sierra Leone on 03/09/2010 in Cup of Nations qualifier
3) Fiji haven't played a single match in 21 month now, but we'll see them in 2011 the latest, because in that year the Pacific Games (former South-Pacific Games, qualifier torunament for OFC Nations Cup) will take place
To sum up:
UEFA (Europe): Serbia - next match on 11/08/2010 vs. Greece
CONMEBOL (S.America): Peru - next match not sheduled
CONCACAF (remaining Am.): Mexico - next match not sheduled
AFC (Asia): Iran - next match on 03/09/2010 vs. China PR
CAF (Africa): Egypt - next match on 03/09/2010 vs. Sierra Leone
OFC (Oceania): Fiji - next match not sheduled

I wonder why you think Egypt's match against DR Congo was cancelled? FIFA website shows a result of 6:3, Egypt being the winners.
Meanwhile in Europe, Serbia lost 1:0 to Greece, Greece being the new unofficial European champions.
UEFA (Europe): Greece - next match on 03/09/2010 vs. Georgia
CONMEBOL (S.America): Peru - next match not scheduled
CONCACAF (remaining Am.): Mexico - next match not scheduled
AFC (Asia): Iran - next match on 03/09/2010 vs. China PR
CAF (Africa): Egypt - next match on 03/09/2010 vs. Sierra Leone
OFC (Oceania): Fiji - next match not scheduled
