UEFA Euro 1968 qualifying Group 4
Group 4 of the UEFA Euro 1968 qualifying tournament was one of the eight groups to decide which teams would qualify for the UEFA Euro 1968 finals tournament. Group 4 consisted of three teams: Yugoslavia, West Germany, and Albania, where they played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. The group winners were Yugoslavia, who finished 1 point above West Germany. This remains the only time where a West or reunified Germany team participated in qualification for either a World Cup or European Championship and failed to qualify.
