1954 FIFA World Cup qualification Group 6

The 1954 FIFA World Cup qualification Group 6 contained Spain and Turkey.

[1] Spain and Turkey finished level on points, and a play-off on neutral ground was played to decide who would qualify.

Since the 1970 FIFA World Cup finals, goal difference has been used as a tiebreaker for future qualifying rounds.

Had those rules been in place, Spain would have qualified, and Turkey would have been eliminated.

A 14-year-old local (i.e. Roman) boy whose father worked at the stadium, Luigi Franco Gemma, picked Turkey's name from the lots with his eyes blindfolded.
