There were originally 23 teams in the competition however five teams withdrew from the competition making it so that the remaining 18 teams in the tournament had to be redrawn. The five teams that withdrew were Burma, Palestine, Pakistan, Poland, and Hungary. The original draw for the preliminary round was- July 26 Luxembourg vs Afghanistan at Brighton, Ireland vs Netherlands at Portsmouth, China vs Turkey at Eastbourne, Burma vs India at Worthing, July 27 Yugoslavia vs Pakistan at Southen, Sweden vs Austria at Bournemouth, Egypt vs Denmark at Portsmouth. The US had a bye and was drawn against Poland in the next round. Libro0 ( talk) 06:32, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
In the Semi-final matches, G.B. is listed to the left and Yugoslavia to the right. Yugoslavia was the winning team in that match and should be left, according to the protocol of this article. Amandajm ( talk) 00:22, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
The Wikipedia article on the Green Pond Road stadium lists the attendance of the Chine v Turkey match there as 21,708. The present article, presumably based on teh linked FIFA report, gives it as 3000. Northern winter ( talk) 11:51, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
Some sources ( [1] [2] possibly quoting the same original) claim Branko Stanković (usually misnamed "Boris Stankovic") was sent off in the final, becoming the first ever at Wembley. The FIFA page disagrees, though it names two Yugoslavs cautioned (both in the first minute, if you can believe it). The Official Report has an old-fashioned politeness that glosses over any unpleasantness; the only hints of aggro are:

I've removed the capacities again as they're clearly wrong. The obvious points are:
It was claimed in the edit summary that the capacities were "in line with IOC games report", but I cannot find any reference in the report to the capacities. And even if they were listed in there, they are clearly wrong given the evidence above. Number 5 7 21:42, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
