Notes:
1. Turkey, Egypt and Greece fielded their "A" teams;
2. Italy, France and Spain their "B" teams;
3. "B" Team Rule: at most three players could be used who had already played (but
not more than twice) for the "A" team;
4. On 20- 5-1957 and 6-11-1957 Turkey fielded a "B" team because their "A" team
had another match around those days (away to Poland on 19- 5-1957 and away to
Spain ("A" team) on 6-11-1957).
5. Matches in italics were unofficial and not part of the tournament.
