1974 FIFA World Cup Group B

Group B was one of two groups in the second group stage of the 1974 FIFA World Cup finals. It was the first time that this stage of the competition (equivalent to the quarter-finals) was played in a group format.^[1] Matches were played between 26 June and 3 July 1974 at venues in Düsseldorf, Frankfurt and Stuttgart. Group B was made up of the winners of Groups 2 and Groups 4 (Yugoslavia and Poland), and the runners-up from Groups 1 and Groups 3 (West Germany and Sweden).^[2]

Having each won both of their first two matches, West Germany and Poland went into their final match level on points with a place in the final at stake. West Germany won the match 1–0 and qualified to play against the Netherlands, while Poland finished second and went on to play in the match for third place against Brazil.^[3]
