Roma began their campaign with a visit to [[Brussels]] to play [[Union Saint-Gilloise]], who had eliminated them from the previous competition. Without both regular right-sided forwards, [[Alberto Orlando]] and [[Francisco Lojacono]], and unbalanced further when full-back [[Alfio Fontana]] moved to the wing after sustaining an injury. [[Pedro Waldemar Manfredini]] had a late goal ruled out for a clear [[offside (association football)|offside]], and the game finished goalless.<ref name=StampaGillA/> The technically superior Roma team won the return leg comfortably; they scored three goals in the first half and each side converted a [[Penalty kick (association football)|penalty kick]] in the second.<ref name=SseraGillH/>
 
Their next opponents were the [[Cologne]] XI. Away from home, Roma took a 2–0 lead, through Manfredini and a second-half own goal. In Rome, they took advantage of their two-goal lead to play an experimental side, so that manager [[Alfredo Foni]] could decide on his lineup for the next league game, an awkward away fixture against [[Udinese Calcio|Udinese]]. [[Giampaolo Menichelli]] and the 17-year-old [[Giancarlo De Sisti]] replaced the creative [[Juan Alberto Schiaffino]] and top scorer Manfredini, and Orlando was tried at centre-forward, with the intention of playing an attacking game.<ref name=CologneHpreview/> The experiment failed; the Roma team appeared to take the match too easily, and Cologne scored twice in the second half to tie the score on aggregate and force a [[replay (sports)|replay]].<ref name=Storie6061/> The replay took place in Rome,<!-- why??? --> and the home side won comfortably, by four goals to one.

Birmingham played Hungarians [[Újpesti Dózsa]] in the first round, with the first leg to be played at home. Újpest twice took the lead, equalised by a [[Johnny Gordon]] header and [[Gordon Astall]]'s shot. Birmingham's repeated attacks broke down near goal, until after 83 minutes Gordon headed home an Astall corner.<ref name=MirrorUjpestH/> In the away leg, Újpest took a one-goal lead after an hour, that tied the scores on aggregate, before Gordon was sent off. This left Birmingham facing "tough opposition and downright one-sided refereeing" without their centre-forward.<ref name=ExpressUjpestA/> But [[Billy Rudd]] scored with three minutes left, then combined with debutant [[Ray Barlow]] in a "walking-pace attack" for [[Jimmy Singer]] to clinch the tie with a rising shot.<ref name=MirrorUjpestA/>
 
In Copenhagen, melted snow and rain left standing water on the pitch, and the kickoff had been moved to late afternoon so that the match against [[Kjøbenhavns Boldklub|KB]] could be televised. This meant the attendance was very low, and the floodlighting was inadequate. Having twice taken a two-goal lead, Birmingham conceded two late goals and the game ended 4–4. Young goalkeeper [[Colin Withers]] had let in six goals in his first appearance as replacement for [[Johnny Schofield]], who had fractured his skull, but made several saves to keep Birmingham from losing this match. The ''Daily Mirror'' reporter suggested that if the other forwards had taken full advantage of new signing [[Jimmy Bloomfield]]'s creativity, the score would have been rather different.<ref name=BIE3/><ref name=MirrorKBA/> The score in the home leg was indeed different. Goals from [[Robin Stubbs]] (2), Bloomfield, [[Mike Hellawell]], and debutant [[Jimmy Harris (footballer, born 1933)|Jimmy Harris]] gave Birmingham a 9–4 aggregate victory.<ref name=MirrorKBH/>
 
Birmingham's poor disciplinary record&nbsp;– Gordon's dismissal was their fifth in a year in matches abroad&nbsp;– caused [[the Football Association]] to ban the club from playing overseas "until [they] have given firm undertakings to uphold the prestige and reputation of British clubs and the F.A. at all times."<ref name=Warning/> They must have complied, for the visit to Milan to play [[Inter Milan|Internazionale]] in the semi-final took place in April as scheduled. Four consecutive defeats had knocked Inter off the top of the league and they had been eliminated from the [[Coppa Italia]].<ref name=SseraInterA/> ''[[La Stampa]]'' described how Birmingham, playing a straightforward, unsophisticated game based around teamwork and athleticism, had little trouble in extending this losing streak. Harris scored the first goal after 12 minutes, after a speedy passing move between [[Terry Hennessey]] and Bloomfield, whom the ''Daily Express'' called "the most artistic player on the field". The second was an own goal, when Hellawell crossed from the right and Harris's header was touched into the net by [[Costanzo Balleri]]. Inter scored with 15 minutes left when [[Mario Corso]]'s wayward shot was turned in off [[Eddie Firmani]]'s chest, and Withers made a fine close-range save near the end to preserve the lead.<ref name=InterA/>
 
Winger [[Bertie Auld]] was involved in both Birmingham's goals as they repeated the 2–1 scoreline in the second leg. After just three minutes, Buffon punched out Auld's powerful shot to Neal, whose shot rebounded off the post to Harris who opened the scoring. Then after 65 minutes, Auld was fouled. He took the free kick himself, a hard, low cross from which Harris scored with a diving header. Roma had two goal-bound attempts cleared off the line before [[Enea Masiero]]'s {{convert|20|yd|adj=on}} shot beat Schofield, but Birmingham's defence stood firm.<ref name=MirrorInterH/>
 
==First leg==
 
Going into this match, Birmingham were bottom of the table with only one win in ten games.<ref name=Statto6162/> The previous week, forward [[Robin Stubbs]] had dislocated his shoulder,<ref name=GuardianLeg1P/> and during a [[Football League Cup]] replay unhelpfully scheduled for the Monday night, 48 hours before the Roma match, England international [[Trevor Smith (footballer, born 1936)|Trevor Smith]] had to leave the field with a thigh strain as Birmingham lost to [[Football League Third Division|Third Division]] side [[Swindon Town]].<ref name=MirrorLeg1P/> The 19-year-old [[Winston Foster]], who had previously been used only at right-back, took Smith's place at centre-half,<ref name=MailLeg1Pa/> alongside Hennessey and [[Malcolm Beard]] in a half-back line composed entirely of teenagers.<ref name=MailLeg1/> The players were intended to enjoy a relaxing visit to [[Warwick Castle]] the day before the game, but the weather was so wet that the trip was cancelled.<ref name=MailLeg1Pb/>
 
During the 1961 close season, [[Luis Carniglia]] had succeeded Foni as manager.<ref name=RSSSFRomaCoach/> Roma were unbeaten at home in the 1961–62 season, but had not yet won away. Their travelling party arrived on the Monday; they went shopping the next morning, used Birmingham's training ground in the afternoon,<ref name=MailLeg1Pa/> and were to attend a banquet in their honour after Wednesday's game.<ref name=MailLeg1Pb/> Roma omitted forward Francisco Lojacono from their selection because he was the subject of a bid from [[A.C. Milan]], who hoped to sign the player before their [[local derby]] against [[Inter Milan|Internazionale]] the next weekend, and the club were unwilling to risk injury putting paid to any prospective sale.<ref name=MirrorLeg1a/>
 
The game was even for the first half-hour, then Manfredini scored a shot on the turn to give Roma the lead.<ref name=MirrorLeg1/> They doubled their lead a quarter of an hour into the second half, "thanks once more to the brilliant opportunism of Manfredini",<ref name=MirrorLeg1/> whom the ''Birmingham Mail'' described as "a splendid centre-forward who acted as a one-man attack for most of the match".<ref name=MailLeg1/> Despite most of the attacking play coming from the home side, they found Cudicini in excellent form, and it was not until the last ten minutes of the match that [[Mike Hellawell]]'s snap-shot surprised the goalkeeper to make it 2-1.<ref name=StampaLeg1/> With just two minutes left of normal time, Harris hit the bar, and in a goalmouth scramble, the ball was forced home by [[Bryan Orritt]]&nbsp;– who had fallen out of favour and been on the transfer list for several months&nbsp;– to give Birmingham a late equaliser.<ref name=BIE3/><ref name=Orritt/>

==Second leg==
The second leg took place in Rome's [[Stadio Olimpico]] two weeks later. Originally scheduled to be played in the evening, under floodlights, it was switched to an afternoon kickoff.<ref name=GuardianLeg2P/> Birmingham were still bottom of the league, having just lost 6–3 to [[Wolverhampton Wanderers]]<ref name=Statto6162/> and sold their club captain, [[Dick Neal, Jr.|Dick Neal]].<ref name=MirrorLeg2Pa/> Team captain [[Jimmy Bloomfield]] was being watched by [[A.C. Milan]] as a potential successor to the recently retired [[Nils Liedholm]].<ref name=ExpressLeg2P/> A party of 14 players and the same number of officials flew to Rome the day before the game, as did a special flight carrying around 60 Birmingham fans.<ref name=LunitaLeg2P/> Three Roma players, Lojacono, [[Antonio Angelillo]] and [[Giacomo Losi]], were allowed to report late for international duty in order to play in this match, though [[Omar Sívori]], Angelillo's rival for the [[playmaker]] role in Italy's team, thought country should take precedence over club.<ref name=SseraLeg2Pa/> Manfredini, top scorer in this edition of the Fairs Cup with 12 goals, proved his return to fitness after injury by scoring four goals in a reserve game.<ref name=LunitaLeg2P/>
 
In the first few minutes of the match, Roma failed to convert three clear chances.<ref name=StampaLeg2/> After ten minutes, manager Carniglia ran {{convert|60|yards}} onto the pitch to confront Birmingham captain Bloomfield, who was bending over an injured Roma player.<ref name=MirrorLeg2/> Following an incident between [[Bryan Orritt]] and [[Giampaolo Menichelli]], blows were exchanged among the players, and Carniglia had to be restrained by Roma officials from joining in.<ref name=StampaLeg2/> This time, Birmingham manager [[Gil Merrick]] followed Carniglia onto the pitch, feeling he "had to be there to try and cool things down".<ref name=ExpressLeg2/> Play continued, albeit still marred by a lack of discipline. As in the first leg, Birmingham's physical approach provoked reactions from the Roma players. Menichelli was carried off injured after an incident with [[Brian Farmer]], Lojacono raised his hands to the referee, who took no action, and the game reached the interval still goalless, which ''La Stampa'' thought a fair reflection of the half.<ref name=StampaLeg2/>
 
The match was hostile both on and off the field. [[Jimmy Harris (footballer, born 1933)|Jimmy Harris]] recalled the Roma players hanging back as the teams approached the pitch, leaving their visitors to be showered with cups of sand which penetrated the wire mesh protecting players from items thrown from above.<ref name{{cn|date=DMailLeg2/>July 2020}} Although the Birmingham team&nbsp;– nicknamed the "[[Brummie dialect|Brummie]] bashers" in the tabloid press&nbsp;– had a reputation for physicality, the ''Daily Mirror'' expressed amazement at their self-control "as the Italians used every trick of body checking and obstruction to make things run their way".<ref name=MirrorLeg2/> At half-time, the referee warned both captains that any further display of indiscipline or temper would result in the culprit being sent off, and issued an individual warning to Lojacono.<ref name=MailLeg2/>
 
After 61 minutes, a move begun by Lojacono ended with an attempted clearance of his shot striking Farmer on the shins and rebounding into the net.<ref name=ExpressLeg2/> ''La Stampa'' remarked on the improved player discipline once Roma had the lead.<ref name=StampaLeg2/> Birmingham rallied for a short period after the goal, and Orritt and Singer each "missed the sort of chances that cannot be ignored in cup games",<ref name=ExpressLeg2/> before Roma regained control. Manfredini missed three good chances and hit the post with the goalkeeper beaten,<ref name=LunitaLeg2/> and the outclassed Birmingham side finally resorted to before, in the second minute of stoppage time, [[Paolo Pestrin]] broke forward and hit a powerful shot from distance into the top corner of the net.<ref name=MirrorLeg2/>
