Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Prima Divisione (First Division) was the name of the first level of the Italian Football Championship from 1921 to 1926. The competition was initially founded in opposition to the FIGC by the richest clubs of Northern Italy, which disagreed the old format of the championship, based on plethoric regional groups. In 1921/22, two concurrent championships took place, before FIGC accepted the new format for 1922/23. The Prima Divisione was divided in two leagues: Lega Nord (Northern League) and Lega Sud (Southern League). The Lega Nord championship was the main competition, and it was divided in two groups of twelve teams each. The winners of the two groups qualified for the final (Northern League Final) while the last team was relegated in Seconda Divisione (Second Division).
