This was the first final where the two countries had both previously appeared in the final. Every World Cup final before this one had at least one country that was playing in the final for the first time.

This was only the second successful defence of the World Cup title in the history of the competition (after Italy in 1938) in spite of the absence of one of Brazil's star players of 1958, Pelé, who was ruled out of action after being injured during the second match of the tournament.

The last surviving player on Czechoslovakia's side was Josef Jelínek, who died on 29 November 2024, aged 83. As a consequence, Brazil's Amarildo is the last surviving player of the final.

Match

Summary

After 15 minutes, Brazil again found themselves a goal behind in the World Cup final, as a long ball from Tomáš Pospíchal was latched onto by Josef Masopust to put Czechoslovakia 1–0 ahead. However, just like the previous final four years earlier, Brazil soon hit back, equalising two minutes later through Amarildo after an error by the previously flawless Czechoslovak goalkeeper Viliam Schrojf. The Brazilians did not stop there and with goals from Zito and Vavá (another Schrojf error) midway through the second half, the Czechoslovaks could not get back into the game, with the match ending 3–1 to Brazil.
