Group B of the 1994 FIFA World Cup was one of six groups of four teams competing at the 1994 World Cup in the United States. The first match was played June 19, 1994, and the final games took place simultaneously on June 28, 1994.
The group consisted of Brazil, Russia, Cameroon and Sweden. Brazil won the group and Sweden finished second. Brazil would go on to win the tournament in the final against Italy, after meeting Sweden again and defeating them in the semi finals. Sweden in turn won the bronze medal match, so two teams from this group ended up on the medal podium.
