1994 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group 5

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Further information on 1994 FIFA World Cup qualification: 1994 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA)

The qualification matches for Group 5 of the European zone (UEFA) of the 1994 FIFA World Cup qualification tournament took place between May 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 Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Luxembourg, Russia, and Yugoslavia.[1]

In October 1992, FIFA suspended Yugoslavia as a result of the United Nations sanctions against that country stemming from the Yugoslav wars.[2][3]

At the time the draw was made on 8 December 1991, Russia was known as the Soviet Union and competed at UEFA Euro 1992 as the Commonwealth of Independent States. Following the USSR's dissolution, Ukraine proposed to arrange a separate tournament for all successors of the Soviet Union. Georgia and Armenia supported the proposal but it was blocked by Russia.[4] The final decision on succession was taken on 1 June 1992 at the FIFA Executive Committee meeting in Stockholm.[4][2][5]
