                                             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this info is outdated, some is incorrect -- so that any updates and/or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 ! It
contains current info about all European Leagues (except San Marino and
Macedonia). Thanks to Karel Stokkermans, this Review is almost perfect.
Enjoy !

Part 1.) European national Leagues.
