Qualifying countries
In 1962 the Football World Cup returned to the continent of South America. It was held in Chile in accordance with FIFA's decision in Lisbon in June 1956, and won by Brazil, who retained the championship by beating Czechoslovakia 3-1 in the final.
Only three nations competed for the honour of staging the tournament. Chile prevailed over West Germany and Argentina though the larger, better-equipped Latin American country was the favorite. The format of the competition stayed the same as 1958: 16 teams qualified, divided into four groups of four. The top two teams in each group advanced to the quarter-finals.
In May 1960, as the preparations were well under way, Chile suffered one of the largest earthquakes (9.5 magnitude) of the twentieth century, which caused enormous damage to the national infrastructure. In face of this, Carlos Dittborn, the president of the Organization Committee, coined the phrase "Because we don't have anything, we will do everything in our power to rebuild," which became the unofficial slogan of the tournament. Stadia and other infrastructure were rebuilt at record speed and the tournament occurred on schedule with no major organizational flaw. Sadly, Dittborn would not live to see the success of his tireless efforts, as he died one month before the start of the tournament. The World Cup venue at Arica was renamed in his honor and bears his name to this day.

Summary
Few teams or players lived up to their reputations in this tournament. Brazil's Pelé, the hero of 1958, was injured in the first group match against Czechoslovakia. USSR goalkeeper Lev Yashin, arguably the world's best at the time, was in poor form and cost his team an elimination to Chile (1-2) in the quarter-finals. None of the stars of leading European clubs of the time (Real Madrid, Barcelona, Benfica, AC Milan) left a mark on the competition. The only bright spots in an otherwise dull tournament were 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 inspired performance of host Chile, who unexpectedly took third place with a squad of relatively unknown players, thanks to an outstanding team spirit.
The competition was marred by overly defensive and often violent tactics. This poisonous atmosphere culminated in the infamous first-round match between host Chile and Italy (2-0), known as the Battle of Santiago. Although only two players (both of them Italian) were sent off by the overly weak English referee Ken Aston, the match saw repeated, deliberate attempts from players on both sides to harm opponents, and the Italian team needed police protection to leave the field in safety.
In the first round, Brazil topped their group with Czechoslovakia finishing second, above Mexico and Spain. USSR and Yugoslavia finished above Uruguay and Colombia. Hungary, along with England progressed through to the quarter-finals, while Argentina and Bulgaria went home. 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.
Surprisingly, Chile defeated European champions USSR to land themselves a semi-final game against the winner of the England – Brazil game. A brilliant performance from Garrincha, which included two goals in a 3-1 win, saw the South Americans triumph against England. Meanwhile 1-0 wins for Yugoslavia against West Germany -- and Czechoslovakia against Hungary -- saw the two Slavic states meet in the semi-finals.
A little under 6,000 spectators turned out to watch Czechoslovakia beat Yugoslavia 3-1, whereas a capacity crowd of 76,600 watched Brazil beat the hosts 4-2. This game saw Garrincha sent off for Brazil and Landa sent off for Chile. Chile eventually went on to take third place in a 1-0 victory over Yugoslavia with the very 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 itself, and after 15 minutes, Brazil again found themselves a goal behind in the World Cup Final, as a long ball from Scherer was latched onto by Masopust: 1-0 Czechoslovakia. However, just like the previous Final four years earlier, Brazil soon hit back, equalising two minutes later through Amarildo after an error by the hitherto flawless Czechoslovak goalkeeper Schroijf. The Brazilians did not stop there and with goals from Zito and Vava (another Schrojf error) mid-way through the second half, the Czechoslovaks just couldn't 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 their star player of 1958, Pelé.

Trivia
• All tickets were denominated in U.S. dollars.
• Ticket prices for the final were in the US$2.20 (Maipu section) to US$5 (Andes Sur section) range.
• This World Cup was the last one which could not be televised live in Europe, because it just predated the arrival of the Telstar satellite and the start of live transmissions from the Americas to Europe. In the United Kingdom, the BBC broadcast live radio commentaries and film recordings of matches on television two days late.
