1994 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group 3

International football competition June 2018 1994 FIFA World Cup qualification 1994 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA) The qualification matches for Group 3 of the European zone (UEFA) of the 1994 FIFA World Cup qualification tournament took place between April 1992 and November 1993. The teams competed on a home-and-away basis with the winner and runner-up claiming 2 of the 12 spots in the final tournament allocated to the European zone. The group consisted of Albania, Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and Spain.Only 37 of the entered teams actually competed in the qualification tournament: Germany qualified for the World Cup automatically as defending champions and Liechtenstein withdrew before the draw was made Additionally, Yugoslavia was suspended by FIFA due to UN sanctions stemming from the Yugoslav wars. One of the most notable topics of the group was the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland being in the same group ('The Troubles' were still ongoing). The Republic would clinch qualification in the final round of games by drawing away to their northern rivals, while Spain's 1–0 win over Denmark meant they qualified as winners.'There was poison in the air': 25 years on from that night in Windsor Park, Irish Times, 10 November 2018 Standings main WDL Q ESP ESP IRL IRL DEN DEN NIR NIR LTU LTU 1988 LVA LVA ALB ALB 8 3 1 27 4 7 4 1 19 6 7 4 1 15 2 5 3 4 14 13 2 3 7 8 21 0 5 7 4 21 1 2 9 6 26 WC WC green1 Qualification to 1994 FIFA World Cup y flag 0-0 1-0 3-1 5-0 5-0 3-0 1-3 1-1 3-0 2-0 4-0 2-0 1-0 0-0 1-0 4-0 2-0 4-0 0-0 1-1 0-1 2-2 2-0 3-0 0-2 0-1 0-0 0-1 1-1 3-1 0-0 0-2 0-0 1-2 1-2 0-0 1-5 1-2 0-1 1-2 1-0 1-1 2 1 0 complete Stokkermans Karel Henrique Jarreta Sergio World Cup 1994 Qualifying https://www.rsssf.org/tables/94q.html RSSSF 30 December 2019 18 June 2024 Results Spain v Albania 22 April 1992 ESP Report 3–0 ALB Míchel 2 66 pen.Hierro 87 Benito Villamarín, Seville 10,000 Serge Muhmenthaler (Switzerland) Northern Ireland v Lithuania 28 April 1992 NIR Report 2–2 LTU 1988 Wilson 13Taggart 16 Narbekovas 41Fridrikas 48 Windsor Park, Belfast 4,500 Rune Pedersen (Norway) Republic of Ireland v Albania 26 May 1992 IRL Report 2–0 ALB Aldridge 60McGrath 80 Lansdowne Road, Dublin 29,727 Jaap Uilenberg (Netherlands) Albania v Lithuania 3 June 1992 ALB 1992 Report 1–0 LTU 1988 Abazi 77 Stadiumi Qemal Stafa, Tirana 12,000 Octavian Streng (Romania) Latvia v Lithuania 12 August 1992 LVA Report 1–2 LTU 1988 Linards 15 Poderis 66Tereškinas 85 Daugava Stadium, Riga 6,897 Jozef Marko (Czechoslovakia) Latvia v Denmark 26 August 1992 LVA Report 0–0 DEN Daugava Stadium, Riga 8,124 Alfred Wieser (Austria) Republic of Ireland v Latvia 9 September 1992 IRL Report 4–0 LVA Sheedy 30Aldridge 59 82 pen. 86 Lansdowne Road, Dublin 32,000 Anders Frisk (Sweden) Northern Ireland v Albania 9 September 1992 NIR Report 3–0 ALB 1992 Clarke 14Wilson 31Magilton 44 Windsor Park, Belfast 4,756 Marnix Sandra (Belgium) Latvia v Spain 23 September 1992 LVA Report 0–0 ESP Daugava Stadium, Riga 6,220 Roger Philippi (Luxembourg) Lithuania v Denmark 23 September 1992 LTU 1988 Report 0–0 DEN Žalgiris Stadium, Vilnius 10,500 Lube Spasov (Bulgaria) Denmark v Republic of Ireland 14 October 1992 DEN Report 0–0 IRL Parken, Copenhagen 40,100 Ryszard Wójcik (Poland) Northern Ireland v Spain 14 October 1992 NIR Report 0–0 ESP Windsor Park, Belfast 10,343 Hellmut Krug (Germany) Lithuania v Latvia 28 October 1992 LTU 1988 Report 1–1 LVA Fridrikas 85 Linards 44 Žalgiris Stadium, Vilnius 4,000 Andrew Waddell (Scotland) Albania v Latvia 11 November 1992 ALB 1992 Report 1–1 LVA Kepa 67 Aleksejenko 3 Qemal Stafa Stadium, Tirana 3,500 Gerhard Kapl (Austria) Northern Ireland v Denmark 18 November 1992 NIR Report 0–1 DEN H.
