Qualification to World Youth Championship

The six best performing teams qualified for the 1985 FIFA World Youth Championship: four semifinalists and the best group runners-up (based on points, goal difference and scored goals). This would mean that both Poland and Scotland should have qualified. As for Poland, officials of the Polish Football Association (PZPN) missed deadline for application to the tournament. [1] It is not clear why Scotland did not participate.
