with one vote coming from each of the following 16 countries: Austria, Belgium,
Czechoslovakia, England,
France, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey,
West Germany and Yugoslavia. The result was announced in
France Football (December 17, 1957).

#2: Laszlo Kubala was born in Hungary, and had previously made international appearances for Hungary and Czechoslovakia, but was now playing for Spain.
