From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The play-offs of the 2004 Fed Cup Europe/Africa Zone Group I were the final stages of the Group I Zonal Competition involving teams from Europe and Africa. Those that qualified for this stage placed first and second in their respective pools, and also last in their pools.

Placing Pool A Pool B Pool C Pool D
1  Serbia and Montenegro  Ukraine  Belarus  Estonia
2  Sweden  Israel  Hungary  Bulgaria
3  Lithuania  Netherlands  Denmark  Poland
4    South Africa    Greece

The eight top teams were then randomly paired up the team from a different placing of another group for a play-off tie, with the winners being promoted to the World Group play-offs. The four bottom teams were also randomly paired up in play-off ties with the losers being relegated down to Group II for 2005.
