1921–22 Prima Divisione (C.C.I.)

Italian Football Championship 1921-22 (C.C.I.) was formed during the summer of 1921, as a result of a dispute between the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio and the main teams.

The teams asked for a reduction of the number of participants in the 1a Divisione. Vittorio Pozzo, the Italian football (soccer) coach, developed a plan to accommodate the team's requests but, after a vote, the plan did not pass: the smaller clubs feared that they would disappear if such a reduction was introduced.

This led to the creation of a new Italian football federation, the C.C.I. (Confederazione Calcistica Italiana), that organized a championship concurrent to the FIGC's one.

This separation lasted only one season and, the following Summer, FIGC accepted the need to reduce the number of participants and recognized this championship as official.

The CCI winner was S.G. Pro Vercelli.

Tiberis Roma and Vittoria Roma were excluded after 5 rounds, due to irregularities in their subscriptions.

These matches were invalidated:

The results of the matches between sides that were in the same qualification round were valid also for the final round (but not the goals scored in those matches). Due to this, Anconitana and Helvia Recina started the round with a 4-point bonus.

Azzurra Palermo and U.S. Catanese were excluded before the start of the championship.

Libertas Palermo, S.C. Messina and Vigor Trapani retired during the championship and all their remaining matches were considered .

Audace Taranto retired before the end of the match.
