Organised by the Mitropa Cup committee, this tournament's edition was recognised by UEFA in 1963, after lobbying by the Italian Football Federation.August 2010 European Cup Winners' Cup makes its debut uefa.direct 100 15 Nyon Union of European Football Associations André Vieli PDF 4 July 2011 https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/EuroExperience/uefaorg/Publications/01/51/54/12/1515412_DOWNLOAD.pdf This was the first season that the tournament took place for the winners of each European country's domestic cup, and was the only one to be decided in a two-legged final. Only ten sides entered the competition, The two German nations and the two major British nations were the sole non-Mitropa members to join the competition. partially due to the low expectations for the new tournament among association football fans and also to the unofficial nature of this edition. SC Dynamo Berlin was the winner of the 1959 FDGB-Pokal and should naturally have represented East Germany in the 1960–61 European Cup Winners' Cup. However, the German Football Association of the GDR (de Deutscher Fußball-Verband der DDR) (DFV) found army-sponsored local rival and league runners-up ASK Vorwärts Berlin to be a more suitable representative of East Germany in the competition.Luther Willmann Jörn Frank 2003 BFC Dynamo – Der Meisterclub de Berlin 1st Das Neue Berlin 28 3-360-01227-5 It is a myth that the low number of entrants was due to few countries already having a domestic cup competition: as happened for the first edition of the European Cup, entrance criteria could be changed by each national federation. Fiorentina entered as runners-up to Juventus in both Coppa Italia and Serie A, Czechoslovakia sent the winners of an unofficial League Cup, and both Hungary and East Germany enrolled their league runners-up.
