Malta and Israel competed for the first time. This was also the first appearance of the unified Germany team since 1964. Italy U-21s won the competition. The competition doubled as the European qualifying stage for the Olympic Football Tournament, which until 1992 existed as a separate tournament. Hosts Spain qualify automatically and the best four eligible nations would qualify automatically. The fifth best European team would play-off against the best Oceania (OFC) team for another Olympics place. Beside the hosting Spain, teams of Scotland, England, Luxembourg and San-Marino did not take part in Olympic qualifications (not members of IOCFootball Qualifying Tournament. Games of the XXV. Olympiad. www.rsssf.org). Teams of Northern Ireland, Wales and Faroes Islands did not take part in this competition at all. The 32 national teams were divided into eight groups (six groups of 4 + one group of 3 + one group of 5). The group winners played off against each other on a two-legged home-and-away basis until the winner was decided. There was no finals tournament or 3rd-place playoff. Qualifying stage Draw The allocation of teams into qualifying groups was based on that of UEFA Euro 1992 qualifying tournament with several changes, reflecting the absence of some nations: Groups 1 and 7 featured the same nations Group 2 did not include San Marino (moved to Group 4) Group 3 did not include Cyprus (moved to Group 8) Group 4 did not include Northern Ireland and Faroe Islands, but included San Marino (moved from Group 2) Group 5 did not include Wales Group 6 did not include Greece (moved to Group 8) Group 8 composed of Cyprus (moved from Group 3), Greece (moved from Group 7), Sweden and Israel (both of whom did not participate in senior Euro qualification) Qualifying Group 1PWDLFAPts121 TCH871023415221 FRA 19748323758321 ESP7322658421 ALB71243134521 ISL81163153 Iceland 0–0 Albania Iceland 0–1 France Czechoslovakia 7–0 Iceland Spain 2–0 Iceland France 1–2 Czechoslovakia Czechoslovakia 3–1 Spain Albania 0–0 France Spain 1–0 Albania France 0–1 Spain France 3–0 Albania Albania 1–5 Czechoslovakia Albania 2–1 Iceland Iceland 0–1 Czechoslovakia Czechoslovakia 1–0 France Iceland 1–0 Spain Spain 0–0 France Czechoslovakia 3–0 Albania Spain 1–1 Czechoslovakia France 2–1 Iceland Albania – Spain(Not played) Qualifying Group 2PWDLFAPts121 SCO650113510221 BUL6402628321 ROU6204594421 SUI61055132 Scotland 2–0 Romania Switzerland 0–2 Bulgaria Romania 0–1 Bulgaria Scotland 4–2 Switzerland Bulgaria 2–0 Scotland Scotland 1–0 Bulgaria Switzerland 0–2 Romania Bulgaria 1–0 Switzerland Switzerland 0–3 Scotland Romania 1–3 Scotland Romania 1–3 Switzerland Bulgaria 0–1 Romania Qualifying Group 3PWDLFAPts121 ITA6411689221 NOR63121367321 URS6231647421 HUN6015181 USSR 2–2 Norway Norway 3–1 Hungary Italy 1–0 Hungary Hungary 0–0 USSR Hungary 0–1 Italy Norway 6–0 Italy Italy 1–0 USSR Norway 0–1 USSR USSR 2–0 Hungary USSR 1–1 Italy Hungary 0–1 Norway Italy 2–1 Norway 11 September 1990 Soviet Union URS 2–2 Report NOR Norway Onopko 15Bezhenar 81 pen.
