WITHDRAWAL FROM 1950 FIFA WORLD CUP
PHILIPPINES,BURMA and INDONESIA withdrew after qualifying, so INDIA qualified automatically. India later also withdrew because of the expense of travelling. Others teams economised by sailing, rather than flying, to the tournament (or, according to some reports, after a FIFA ruling that players were not allowed to play barefoot). FIFA decided not to invite another team, leaving the World Cup three teams short.
