Saudi Arabia the 1989 champions, weren't able to defend their title as they withdrew from the final round of the AFC qualifying tournament, citing Blue Diamond Affair.
The tournament was originally to be scheduled in Ecuador, but due to the cholera outbreak earlier that year, it was moved to Italy, which hosted the previous year's World Cup. This is the second time a FIFA event was moved from its original hosting country, after the 1986 World Cup was moved from Colombia to Mexico.
