The 1962–63 European Cup was the eighth season of the European Cup, UEFA's premier club football tournament. The competition was won by AC Milan, who beat two-time defending champions Benfica in the final at Wembley Stadium, London, on 22 May 1963.[1] Milan's victory was the first by an Italian club.

Five-time winners Real Madrid were eliminated in the preliminary round by Anderlecht, the first time previous winners didn't make it to the first round of the competition.

Albania entered its champion for the first time this season.

Teams

A total of 30 teams participated in the competition.

Portugal continued to be represented by two clubs, with Benfica qualifying as title holders and Sporting CP as Portuguese champions. CSKA Red Flag appeared in the seventh edition of European Cup, with only Real Madrid having more appearances in the competition.

Partizani, Esbjerg, Ipswich Town, Union Luxembourg, Floriana, Shelbourne, Dinamo București, Dundee and 1. FC Köln made their debut in the competition.

Galatasaray returned to the tournament for the first time since 1957, while IFK Norrköping, Polonia Bytom, Anderlecht and eventual winners Milan returned to the competition after five, four, three and three years, respectively.

All participants were their respective associations champions, except for Benfica and Fredrikstad. The latter was leading Hovedserien at the summer break on 1 July 1962, after 21 of 30 matches had been played, but finished third in autumn of 1962.[2]
