1994 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group 5

Football tournament qualification stage

Football tournament qualification stage

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.

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

At the time the draw was made on 8 December 1991, the Soviet Union, which competed at UEFA Euro 1992 as the Commonwealth of Independent States, fell apart and the Russian Federation, one of its union republics, was recognized as its successor. 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 Russia blocked it. The final decision on succession was taken on 1 June 1992 at the FIFA Executive Committee meeting in Stockholm.
