1998 FIFA World Cup Group C


Group C at the 1998 FIFA World Cup comprised four teams: Asian Football Confederation representatives Saudi Arabia, South Africa from the Confederation of African Football, UEFA's Denmark and hosts France.

Denmark and France started well, defeating Saudi Arabia and South Africa respectively. Next, France scored four to eliminate Saudi Arabia and qualify with a match to spare, while Denmark and South Africa drew. Needing a big win in their final game, against Saudi Arabia, South Africa conceded two penalties and could only draw, so Denmark still qualified despite losing their final game to France.
