At the time, only eight countries could dispute the final tournament. Seven countries had to qualify for the final stage. Sweden qualified automatically as hosts of the event. Originally, Yugoslavia qualified for the final stage, but due to the developments in the Balkans it was excluded. In its place runner-up Denmark took part in the championship and shocked the continent by defeating the reigning World Cup champions Germany for the title.
