From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Group 4 consisted of Austria, Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Northern Ireland and Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia won the group, but the team (as FR Yugoslavia) was banned from the final tournament.

It was the first international tournament for the Faroe Islands and the win against Austria their first competitive win.

Notes:
  1. ^ a b Yugoslavia were to participate in the final tournament as FR Yugoslavia. However, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was placed under sanctions on 30 May 1992 by the United Nations Security Council Resolution 757 after the outbreak of Yugoslav Wars.[1] FIFA and UEFA therefore suspended FR Yugoslavia from competitive football on 31 May 1992, meaning they could not participate in the final tournament. Group runners-up Denmark instead took the spot at the final tournament.[2][3][4][5]
