UEFA Euro 1992 qualifying Group 5
Group 5 of the UEFA Euro 1992 qualifying tournament was played as four team group consisting of Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg and Wales.
At the time of the draw on 2 February 1990, Group 5 had contained a fifth team, East Germany.[2][3] The first scheduled match would see Belgium play East Germany on 12 September 1990. On 23 August 1990, the East German parliament confirmed reunification would take place on 3 October. Accordingly, said Belgium-East Germany match, for which tickets had been sold, was still played but as a friendly and was the last match East Germany played.[4][1] All other games involving East Germany were scratched and fixtures initially scheduled for West Germany were now played as a unified Germany team.[5]
