1998 Davis Cup Europe/Africa Zone Group III – Zone B

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Europe/Africa Zone was one of the three zones of the regional Davis Cup competition in 1998.

In the Europe/Africa Zone there were four different tiers, called groups, in which teams competed against each other to advance to the upper tier. The top two teams in Group III advanced to the Europe/Africa Zone Group II in 1999, whereas the bottom two teams were relegated to the Europe/Africa Zone Group IV in 1999.
