Notes

1. Only 31 of the entered teams actually competed in the qualification tournament: West Germany qualified for the World Cup automatically as defending champions.
2. The Football Association of Wales decided to play this match on neutral ground due to capacity limits at Cardiff's Ninian Park and Wrexham's Racecourse Ground.
