For the 1962 FIFA World Cup qualification, there were three inter-confederation play-offs to determine the final three qualification spots to the 1962 FIFA World Cup. The matches were played between 8 October – 26 November 1961.[1]
The six teams from the five confederations (AFC, CAF, CONMEBOL, NAFC, and UEFA) were drawn into three ties.
In each tie, the two teams played a two-legged home-and-away series. The three winners, decided on aggregate score, qualified for the 1962 FIFA World Cup in Chile.
