Liedjes Voetbal Steekspel 1963

This was the third Liedjes Voetbal Steekspel to be held. All countries that lost by more than three goals in the first knockout stage in 1959 were relegated. This allowed for the introduction of Brazil and Chile from South America; and Austria and Greece from Europe. It was decided that relegated countries from 1957 could not return, but a round robin between relegated members from 1957, 1959 and the soon-to-be 1961 tournaments would take place in 1962 in time for the 1963 tournament.

France won the first tournament in 1957, so during the bidding process for 1961 and 1963 held in May 1958, France was the front-runner to host the 1961 tournament.
