               "F O O T B A L L     R E V I E W"

                                             Vol. 1, No. 5
                                             January 22, 1993

   In this review I'll try to combine all basic info I have about major
football competitions (European Leagues, EuroCups, WC'94). Some of
this info is outdated, some is incorrect -- so that any updates and/or
corrections are indoubtedly welcome and strongly encouraged. I hope this
review will help those people who have missed some info accidentally.

   Last time I said that the Review No. 4 was the most updated Review
that had ever been published. Well, this one is even more updated !  
Thanks to Karel Stokkermans, this Review is almost perfect.
Enjoy !


AFRICA (3 teams qualify)
------------------------

African teams are divided into 9 groups. There is a round-robin tourna-
ment in each group -- each team faces all others twice. The 9 group win-
ners will advance to the next round -- and 3 winners of the next round
will go to the WC'94 final stage.

These are current tables and standings of the nine groups:
