NB: West Germany had finished only 9th in the European U-18 championship
in spring 1980, which had served as European qualifying tournament
for this World Youth Cup, and from which 6 teams (England, Poland,
Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Romania) had qualified. However,
the Dutch FA declined to participate and West Germany were invited
to enter instead. As an aside, bronze medalists Romania had only
qualified for this World Youth Cup after winning a draw against
Portugal who had finished with an equal record at the European U-18
championship.
