While only the federation of Curaçao (C.V.B.) were FIFA members at the time (the Dutch Antilles federation N.A.V.U. was not founded until 1958), the team entering here was a Dutch Antilles selection representing the N.A.O.C., the olympic committee of the territory. [1]

Controversy

Costa Rica withdrew from the Games after a pitch invasion by the spectators at the end of their match against Dutch Antilles, following a brawl between players caused by a collision between Costa Rica player Calleta Molina and Dutch Antilles keeper Ergilio Hato; when the pitch was cleared, Dutch Antilles again took the field but Costa Rica refused to continue. [1]
