It was held from 30 May to 17 June 1962 in Chile. The qualification rounds took place between August 1960 and December 1961, with 56 teams entering from six confederations, and fourteen qualifying for the finals tournament alongside Chile, the hosts, and Brazil, the defending champions. Brazil successfully defended their World Cup title, defeating Czechoslovakia 3–1 in the final in the Chilean capital Santiago. They became the second team, after Italy in 1934 and 1938, to win the World Cup twice consecutively; no team has since achieved the feat. Host nation Chile finished third, defeating Yugoslavia 1–0 in the match for third place. The tournament was marred by violence between players on the pitch and a toxic atmosphere; it included the first-round match between Chile and Italy (2–0), which became known as the Battle of Santiago, one of a number of violent matches played throughout the tournament. The tournament saw a then-record six sendings off. It was the first World Cup that used goal average as a means of separating teams with the same number of points. It was also the first World Cup in which the average number of goals per match was less than three (2.78); this has been repeated at every World Cup since. Host selection FIFA World Cup hosts After Europe hosted two consecutive World Cups, the American federations demanded the 1962 edition must be held in South America or they would stage a complete boycott of the tournament, similar to 1938.http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/international/tournaments/fifa-world-cup/1962/1962-index.html FIFA World Cup 1962 – Historical Football Kits Historicalkits.co.uk 29 June 2014 21 November 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20191121192644/http://historicalkits.co.uk/international/tournaments/fifa-world-cup/1962/1962-index.html live Argentina, after previously failed candidacies, was the favourite. Magallanes' chairman, Ernesto Alvear, attended a FIFA Congress held in Helsinki while the Finnish city was hosting the 1952 Summer Olympics. He considered that Chile was able to organise the World Cup. Several sources also say that FIFA did not want Argentina to run alone, requesting the participation of Chile as almost symbolic. Chile registered its candidacy in 1954 alongside Argentina and West Germany, the latter withdrawing at the request of FIFA. Chile's football federation committee, led by Carlos Dittborn and Juan Pinto Durán, toured many countries convincing various football associations about the country's ability to organise the tournament in comparison to Argentina's superior sports infrastructure and prestige. The FIFA Congress met in Lisbon, Portugal on 10 June 1956. That day, Raul Colombo, representing Argentina's candidacy, ended his speech with the phrase "We can start the World Cup tomorrow. We have it all." The next day, Dittborn presented four arguments that supported Chile's candidacy: Chile's continued participations at FIFA-organised conferences and tournaments, sports climate, tolerance of race and creed and political and institutional stability of the country. In addition, Dittborn invoked Article 2 of the FIFA statutes that addressed the tournament's role in promoting the sport in countries deemed "underdeveloped".http://dofooty.com/carlos-dittborn-pinto-the-1962-fifa-world-cup/ Carlos Dittborn Pinto – 1962 FIFA World Cup Paul DoFooty.com 16 December 2012 15 June 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140714205412/http://dofooty.com/carlos-dittborn-pinto-the-1962-fifa-world-cup/ 14 July 2014 dead In a counter-point to Colombo's claim that "We have it all" Dittborn coined the phrase "Because we have nothing, we want to do it all" (es Porque no tenemos nada, queremos hacerlo todo) around the fifteenth minute of his speech."Porque no tenemos nada...": la icónica respuesta a Argentina que pasó a la historia https://www.biobiochile.cl/noticias/deportes/futbol/la-roja/2022/05/31/chile-1962-porque-no-tenemos-nada-la-iconica-respuesta-a-argentina-que-paso-a-la-historia.shtml Zamorano Javier 2022-05-31 2022-10-06 Radio Bío-Bío Spanish Chile won 32 votes to Argentina's 10.

Chile as host nation and Brazil as reigning World Cup champions were granted automatic qualification, with the remaining 14 finals places divided among the continental confederations. Eight places were contested by UEFA teams (Europe) and three by CONMEBOL teams (South America). CAF teams (Africa), AFC teams (Asia), NAFC teams (North America), and CCCF teams (Central America and Caribbean) contested three play-offs slots. The three winners would then face a European or South American team for entry into the World Cup. The 1962 tournament was the last one for which only nations from Europe or the Americas qualified. Two teams qualified for the first time ever: Colombia and Bulgaria. Austria withdrew during the qualification tournament due to financial problems. Canada withdrew during the qualification tournament due to scheduling constraints.https://www.newspapers.com/article/nanaimo-daily-news-canada-pulls-out-of-1/20900536/ World Soccer Cup Schedule Too Tough 31 May 1960 21 June 2026 Nanaimo Daily News (archived on Newspapers.com) 19 June 2025 https://web.archive.org/web/20250619042055/https://www.newspapers.com/article/nanaimo-daily-news-canada-pulls-out-of-1/20900536/ live Italy, Switzerland and Uruguay all qualified for the first time since 1954, and Spain for the first time since 1950.

The Valdivia earthquake, the most powerful earthquake ever recorded, occurred on 22 May 1960. With over 50,000 casualties and more than 2 million people affected, the earthquake forced the organising committee to completely modify the World Cup's calendar. Talca, Concepción, Talcahuano and Valdivia were severely damaged and discarded as venues. Antofagasta and Valparaíso declined to host any matches as their venues were not financially self-sustainable. Viña del Mar and Arica managed to rebuild their stadiums while Braden Copper Company, then an American company that controlled the El Teniente copper mine, allowed the use of its stadium in Rancagua. Due to these setbacks, this is the World Cup edition with the smallest number of venues spread across the country (while the 1930 FIFA World Cup was held in three venues, all of them were located in a single city). The most used stadium was the Estadio Nacional in Santiago, with 10 matches; the Estadio Sausalito in Viña del Mar hosted 8 matches, and the stadiums in Rancagua and far-away Arica (the only location that was not close to the other cities) both hosted 7 matches. Being that Estadio Nacional was the only large venue of the tournament (all others had less than 20,000 seats), it also saw the largest attendance average, by far, with Estadio Sausalito's attendance only being boosted with the Brazil matches it hosted (the semi-final between Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia was the only one in the stadium with less than 10,000 spectators). Being largely concerned with the rebuilding of the country after the 1960 earthquake, government support for the tournament was minimal.Ortega Luis De pasión de multitudes a rito privado Sagredo Rafael Gazmuri Cristián Historia de la vida privada en Chile 2005 3: El Chile contemporáneo.

In light of this, FIFA created stipulations describing that once a player represents a nation during a World Cup or its qualifying rounds the player cannot switch to another national team.Ryan Kelly FIFA national team eligibility: Rules, players who have switched & everything you need to know https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/fifa-national-team-eligibility-rules-players-who-have/1hndiedxd2d4h1jfved27pg4go Goal.com 17 January 2020 16 June 2018 https://web.archive.org/web/20180616192129/http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/fifa-national-team-eligibility-rules-players-who-have/1hndiedxd2d4h1jfved27pg4go live Robert Prosinečki and Robert Jarni would later become the sixth and seventh such players, playing for Yugoslavia in 1990, then for Croatia in 1998; Davor Šuker was also selected in both squads, but did not play in 1990.

Argentina became the first team in World Cup history to be eliminated on goal average when England advanced from Group 4 in second place. In the knockout games, if the teams were level after ninety minutes, thirty minutes of extra time were played. For any match other than the final, if the teams were still even after extra time then lots would be drawn to determine the winner. The final would have been replayed if still tied after extra time; but if still tied after the replay, the champion would have been decided by drawing lots. In the event, no replays or drawing of lots were necessary. thumb|440px|Qualifying countries and their result Summary In May 1960, as the preparations were well under way, Chile suffered the largest earthquake ever recorded (9.5 magnitude), which caused enormous damage to the national infrastructure. In the face of this, Carlos Dittborn, the president of the Organization Committee, coined the phrase "Porque nada tenemos, lo haremos todo" (Because we have nothing, we will do everything).John Brewin Martin Williamson World Cup History: 1962 http://www.espnfc.com/fifa-world-cup/story/1834569/world-cup-history-1962 ESPN FC ESPN Internet Ventures 30 April 2014 12 June 2015 13 June 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150613175723/http://www.espnfc.com/fifa-world-cup/story/1834569/world-cup-history-1962 live Stadia and other infrastructure were rebuilt at record speed and the tournament occurred on schedule with no major organisational flaw.

President Jorge Alessandri gave an uninspiring inaugural speech before the first match, which was played between Chile and Switzerland. Alessandri left however before the end of the match. While Chilean society was living in a "footballized" atmosphere, Alessandri was criticised for his cold attitude towards the tournament, which forced his ministers to come out and claim he was as "footballized" as everybody else, but was too busy to devote too much attention to the competition. thumb|left|270px|Official 1962 FIFA World Cup poster. The competition was marred by constant violence on the pitch. This poisonous atmosphere culminated in the first-round match between host Chile and Italy (2–0), known as the Battle of Santiago. Two Italian journalists had written unflattering articles about the host country and its capital city; describing Santiago as a "proudly backwards and poverty-stricken dump full of prostitution and crime".https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1976117-italy-world-cup-rewind-infamy-at-the-battle-of-santiago-1962 Italy World Cup Rewind: Infamy at the Battle of Santiago, 1962 Bleacher Report 5 May 2026 18 May 2026 https://web.archive.org/web/20260518211755/https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1976117-italy-world-cup-rewind-infamy-at-the-battle-of-santiago-1962 live Although only two players (both of them Italian) were sent off by the English referee Ken Aston, the match saw repeated attempts from players on both sides to harm opponents, and the Italian team needed police protection to leave the field in safety.https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1976117-italy-world-cup-rewind-infamy-at-the-battle-of-santiago-1962 Italy World Cup Rewind: Infamy at the Battle of Santiago, 1962 Sam Lopresti Bleacher Report 28 February 2014 15 June 2014 20 July 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140720070231/http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1976117-italy-world-cup-rewind-infamy-at-the-battle-of-santiago-1962 live Articles in the Italian papers La Nazione and Corriere della Sera were saying that allowing Chile to host the World Cup was "pure madness"; this was used and magnified by local newspapers to inflame the Chilean population. The British newspaper the Daily Express wrote "The tournament shows every sign of developing into a violent bloodbath. Reports read like battlefront despatches; the Italy vs West Germany match was described as 'wrestling and warfare'". As the competition began, a shift in strategy was imminent. Defensive strategies began to take hold as the average goals per match dropped to 2.78, under 3 for the first time in competition history (the average has never been above 3 since).https://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/statisticsandrecords/tournaments/worldcup/organisation/index.html https://web.archive.org/web/20070613023230/http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/statisticsandrecords/tournaments/worldcup/organisation/index.html dead 13 June 2007 FIFA World Cup Record – Organisation FIFA 15 June 2014 Pelé was injured in the second group match against Czechoslovakia. The Soviet Union goalkeeper Lev Yashin, arguably the best goalkeeper in the world at the time, was in poor form and his team went out to Chile (1–2) in the quarter-finals. Bright spots included the emergence of the young Brazilians Amarildo (standing in for Pelé) and Garrincha, the heroics of Czechoslovakia goalkeeper Viliam Schrojf against Hungary and Yugoslavia, and the performance of the host nation Chile, who took third place with a squad of relatively unknown players.June 2014. In doing so, Chile became the fourth and final South American nation so far in reaching the semi-final stage of a World Cup, after former two-time champions Uruguay, current holders Brazil, and 1930 finalists Argentina. In the first round, Brazil topped their group with Czechoslovakia finishing second, above Mexico and Spain, even as the latter had in their ranks the naturalised Ferenc Puskás and Alfredo Di Stéfano who, injured, was called up but did not play. USSR and Yugoslavia finished above Uruguay and Colombia. Hungary, along with England progressed to the quarter-finals, while Argentina and Bulgaria were eliminated. England had the same number of points as Argentina but progressed due to a superior goal average; the first time such a requirement had been necessary in a World Cup finals tournament. Switzerland lost all three games while West Germany and Chile both went through over Italy. thumb|Brazil national football team in the World Cup, 1962. National Archives of Brazil. Chile defeated European champions USSR to earn a semi-final game against the winner of the England – Brazil game. Garrincha scored two goals in a 3–1 win against England. Meanwhile, 1–0 wins for Yugoslavia against West Germany – and another 1–0 win of Czechoslovakia against neighbours Hungary – saw the two Slavic states meet in the semi-finals. Viña del Mar was the original venue for the South American semi-final and Santiago for the Slavic one, but due to Chile's surprise qualification, the organisers prompted FIFA to switch the venues. This irritated crowds in Viña del Mar and only a little under 6,000 spectators came to Estadio Sausalito to watch Czechoslovakia beat Yugoslavia 3–1, whereas a capacity crowd of 76,600 in Santiago watched Brazil beat the hosts 4–2.Grüne Hardy Fussball WM Enzyklopädie 1930–2006 2006 Agon Sportverlag 978-3-89784-261-8 WM 1962 Chile This game saw Garrincha sent off for Brazil and Honorino Landa sent off for Chile. Chile eventually took third place in a 1–0 victory over Yugoslavia with the last play of the match. The same player, Eladio Rojas, had also scored the winning goal in Chile's game against USSR. Santiago's Estadio Nacional served as the venue for the final, and after 15 minutes, Brazil again found themselves a goal behind in the World Cup final, as a long ball from Adolf Scherer was latched onto by Josef Masopust: 1–0 Czechoslovakia. As in the previous final in 1958, Brazil soon hit back, equalising two minutes later through Amarildo after an error by Czechoslovak goalkeeper Schroijf. The Brazilians scored goals from Zito and Vavá (another Schrojf error) midway through the second half, and the Czechoslovaks could not get back into the game. The match ended 3–1 to Brazil, a successful defence of the title for only the second time in the history of the competition in spite of the absence of one of their star players of 1958, Pelé, who was replaced by Amarildo.
