Format

The entrants, format, and initial draw were announced on 25 June 1964 in Barcelona. The organisers received 77 applications and accepted 48, a surprise increase from 32 the previous season. There were 12 groups of four, with two elimination rounds producing group winners to be drawn subsequently into a third round, two of whose six winners would receive a bye to the semifinals while the other four played quarter finals.[1]
