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 third-place playoff.
Draw
The allocation of teams into qualifying groups was based on that of UEFA Euro 1984 qualifying tournament with several changes, reflecting the absence of some nations:
- Groups 1, 2 and 4 included the same nations
- Group 3 did not include Luxembourg (moved to Group 8)
- Group 5 did not include Sweden (moved to Group 8)
- Group 6 did not include Northern Ireland
- Group 7 did not include Malta and Republic of Ireland
- Group 8 composed of Sweden (moved from Group 5), Luxembourg (moved from Group 3) and France (who did not participate in senior Euro qualification)
