The 30 national teams were divided into eight groups (six groups of 4 + two groups of 3). The group winners played off against each other on a two-legged home-and-away basis until the winner was decided. There was no finals tournament or 3rd-place playoff.
Draw
The allocation of teams into qualifying groups was based on that of 1990 FIFA World Cup qualification with several changes, reflecting the absence of some nations:
- Groups 1 and 2 featured the same nations
- Group 3 did not include Iceland (moved to Group 4)
- Group 4 did not include Wales, but included Iceland (moved from Group 3)
- Group 5 did not include Cyprus (moved to Group 6)
- Group 6 did not include Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland and Malta, but included Cyprus (moved from Group 5)
- Group 7 did not include Switzerland (moved to Group 8)
- Group 8 composed of Switzerland (moved from Group 7), Italy and San Marino (both of whom did not participate in World Cup qualification)
