Notes edit

  1. ^ Only 49 of the entered teams actually competed in the qualification tournament: France qualified for the World Cup automatically as host.
  2. ^ The Scotland v Belarus match was moved from the original scheduled date of 6 September 1997 as it fell on the Funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales on London, England.
