The final and third-place play-off were held in Monaco, which is a country independent of France. Overview The four participating nations—Austria, France, Morocco, and Switzerland—entered the tournament in the following contexts: Austria had failed to qualify for the 1986 FIFA World Cup or UEFA Euro 1988, finishing third out of four in qualifying Group 1. France, the host nation, had finished third at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico and, despite being the reigning European champions, had also failed to qualify for Euro 1988, finishing third out of five in qualifying Group 3. Morocco entered the tournament after achieving its best World Cup performance in Mexico, where West Germany eliminated it in the round of 16. Furthermore, it had finished fourth at the 1986 Africa Cup of Nations. Morocco viewed this tournament as preparation for the 1988 Africa Cup of Nations, which it would host. Switzerland did not qualify for the 1986 FIFA World Cup nor for Euro 1988, finishing fourth out of five in qualifying group 2.
