– There is no primary topic. usage in Google Books doesn't show that [redirect] Battle of Santiago (1838) is always disambiguated by "de Cuba" or "Santiago Bay", nor show that the 1962 game outweighs 3 different naval battles. Regarding (parenthetical dab) several options to create something cryptic and misleading, but Category:FIFA World Cup matches suggests (1962 FIFA World Cup) as consistent with category and recognizable to readers and hopefully acceptable to both WP Military history and WP Football editors.

Support per nom; thre's also Battle of Santiago (1844) on Hispaniola and Siege of Santiago on Cuba -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 04:33, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Too many options, and no clear primary topic. Steel1943 (talk) 14:43, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support - football match clearly is not a primary topic for this title.--Staberinde (talk) 16:34, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Strong and speedy support and a tip of the hat to In ictu oculi for finding this. Red Slash 21:02, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Strong support Good heavens, a soccer match should never be the PRIMARYTOPIC over actual historical armed conflicts. There was a bit of a mess on the disambiguation page regarding Battle of Santiago (1838), which redirects to the battle fought in 1898, which I think I've cleared up now.
