1966 FIFA World Cup qualification (CONMEBOL)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 9 teams were divided into 3 groups of 3 teams each. The teams played against each other on a home-and-away basis. The group winners would qualify. Brazil did not participate, as they were granted a spot in the finals after winning the 1962 World Cup.
