Logically speaking, that conclusion doesn't follow.[1] Something being in
63xx-66xx means that it definitely is Town, but something not being
63xx-66xx doesn't necessarily mean that it's not Town.
For example, 9 of the ~23 Ninja sets are in the 60xx range of Castle, but
the remainder are in the 1xxx and 3xxx ranges of promotional and limited-
release sets. Two are even (very oddly, but maybe a pattern will emerge) in
the 480x range.
Since the Futbol sets are 340x and the 1998 soccer sets were 330x-331x, all
we know is that they're some sort of limited (not worldwide) release.
Futbol still could technically be part of the Town System, and I think
that's a good bet, too, because TLG has always reserved at least 100 numbers
for actual whole Systems in the past, and many short-lived play themes have
numbers all bunched together consecutively.
Consider -- big ranges...
[misc old] xxx (1000)
[misc] 1xxx (1000)
Primo 20xx-211x (120)
[misc] 212x-219x (80)
Duplo 22xx-24xx (300)
[misc] 25xx (100)

Space 68xx-69xx (200) <--
[reserved] 70xx (100)
Star Wars 71xx (100) <--
[reserved] 72xx-76xx (500)
4.5v & 12v Trains 77xx-78xx (200) <--
TECHNIC 8xxx (1000) <--
DACTA 9xxx (1000) <--
...and small, short-lived ranges:
Space / RoboForce 2151-2154 (4)
Aquazone / Aquaraiders 2160-2162 (3)
Silver buckets & tubs 3024-3029 (6)
Space / Insectoids 3070-3073 (4)
Soccer (1998-1999) 330x-331x (20)
Town / Paradisa 640x-641x (20)
Town / Time Cruisers 6491-6494 (4)
Town / Time Twisters 6495-6497 (3)
Town / Divers
TECHNIC / Star Wars 800x-801x?(20?)
TECHNIC / Speed Slammers 8236-8238?(3?)
TECHNIC / Slizer 8500-8508 (9)
TECHNIC / Robo Riders 8509-8514 (6)
etc.
Anyway, since Aquaraiders consisted of 3 sets 2160-2162 outside of the
normal 61xx Aquazone range, and RoboForce consisted of 4 sets 2151-2154
outside of the normal 68xx-69xx Space range, and Insectoids had 4 sets
3070-3073 outside of the normal Space range, then it's entirely possible
that the 330x-331x & 340x-341x Soccer & Futbol sets are part of Town. I
don't know how probable it is, but it's certainly possible.
