Brussels, 1990: saluting the crowd after the last match. The draw for 1992 UEFA European Football Championship qualifying took place on 2 February 1990, with East Germany drawn in Group 5 along with Belgium, Wales, Luxembourg - and West Germany. On 23 August that year, the East German parliament confirmed reunification for 3 October. As The planning for the opening fixture away to Belgium on 12 September was too far along to be cancelled, it was played as a friendly.

At the time of the draw on 2 February 1990, Group 5 had contained a fifth team, East Germany. The first scheduled match would see Belgium play East Germany on 12 September 1990. On 23 August 1990, the East German parliament confirmed reunification would take place on 3 October. Accordingly, said Belgium-East Germany match, for which tickets had been sold, was still played but as a friendly and was the last match East Germany played.[1] All other games involving East Germany were scratched and fixtures initially scheduled for West Germany were now played as a unified Germany team.
