1962–63 Yugoslav Cup


The 1962–63 Yugoslav Cup was the 16th season of the top football knockout competition in SFR Yugoslavia, the Yugoslav Cup, also known as the "Marshal Tito Cup", since its establishment in 1946.

Calendar

The Yugoslav Cup was a tournament for which clubs from all tiers of the football pyramid were eligible to enter. In addition, amateur teams put together by individual Yugoslav People's Army garrisons and various factories and industrial plants were also encouraged to enter, which meant that each cup edition could have several thousands of teams in its preliminary stages. In the 1962–63 season 2,383 teams were entered, who played through a series of qualifying rounds in an attempt to reach the first round proper, in which they would be paired with top-flight teams.
The cup final was played on 26 May 1963, traditionally scheduled to coincide with Youth Day celebrated on 25 May, a national holiday in Yugoslavia which also doubled as the official commemoration of Josip Broz Tito's birthday.
