1986 Davis Cup Europe Zone

The Europe Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1986 Davis Cup.

A new Africa Zone was contested for the first time, which served as a qualifying round for the Europe Zone. Teams from 9 African nations competed for 2 places in the Europe Zone main draws, joining an additional 24 teams. The winner of each sub-zone was then promoted to the following year's World Group.[1]

France defeated Austria in the Zone A final, and Israel defeated Switzerland in the Zone B final, resulting in both France and Israel being promoted to the 1987 World Group.[2][3]

gollark: I generally say "tell me if you take it". Anyone who does not will pay for their evil crimes.
