Remarks

• Romania didn't arrive until the second round. The team was seeded for the first round against Malta's B team and scored with a 2-2 draw without a fight.
• Monaco and Uganda did not compete in the last round. While Monaco's game against Jordan was rated as a 4-0 defeat, the Africans were no longer scheduled for the final round. This gave Angola a bye and two board points.
