    The last time the two-point rule applied , two points were awarded for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a defeat. And the goal difference also had priority over the direct comparison for the last time . San Marino and the Faroe Islands took part in a qualification for the European Football Championship for the first time.

    The dissolution of the Eastern Bloc, German reunification, the break-up of Yugoslavia and the unrest in Albania left their mark during and after qualifying for the European Championship. The match between Albania and Spain in Group 1 could not be played due to unrest. Since it was no longer relevant, the game was omitted. The USSR was able to prevail in Group 3, but then entered as the CIS . Yugoslavia was group winners in Group 4, but after the outbreak of the Yugoslav Wars, the team was excluded for a short time. Instead, the future European champions Denmark took part in the finals of the European Championship. In group 5, the GDR was taken out of the competition and only played the game against Belgium that was already scheduled as a friendly .
