A total of 32 UEFA teams entered the qualifying competition. Moreover, Israel were also assigned to the European zone despite not being a UEFA member. The European zone was allocated 14 places (out of 24) in the final tournament. Spain, the hosts, qualified automatically, leaving 13 spots open for competition between 33 teams.

The 33 teams were divided into 7 groups. The teams would play against each other on a home-and-away basis. The number of teams and spots for each group were as follows:

  • Groups 1 to 6 had 5 teams each. The group winners and runners-up would qualify.
  • Group 7 had 3 teams. The group winner would qualify.

Draw

edit

The draw for the qualifying groups took place in the Zürichhorn Casino in Zürich, Switzerland on 14 October 1979. During the draw procedure, the 33 entrants were drawn into the 7 qualifying groups from the five pots of seeds, which had been announced ten days prior. As Group 7 only featured 3 teams (one team from Pot A, one team from Pot C and one team from Pot E), only the group winner of this group would qualify.
