Notes: For many years FIFA regarded all of these matches as full internationals; however, at
the time of writing, they retain only those matches which were contested by two A-teams (i.e.
any two of Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Morocco, Iran, and India). All of Yugoslavia's matches
in this tournament were regarded as full internationals by their association. The same goes for
the Soviet Union. The Chinese and South Korean associations do not regard any of their matches
as full internationals.
