Liedjes Voetbal Steekspel 1963

This was the fourth Liedjes Voetbal Steekspel to be held. Previously, all relegated nations from previous tournaments would be entered into a round robin for a chance to return to the 1963 contest. This was ignored when the participants was raised from 16 to 32 to allow all relegated countries to return. Nine new countries joined, only one being European.

Netherlands won the rights to host the 1963 tournament due to having many cities bidding for it and being less enthusiastic. A lot of people preferred the Netherlands over other bids like Argentina due to the travel times. Two countries would qualify from each Group.
