1912–13 Prima Categoria

16th season of top-tier Italian football October 2022 October 2022 October 2022 Prima Categoria 1912–13 Pro Vercelli5th title 1911–12 1913–14 The 1912-13 Prima Categoria season was the sixteenth of the Italian Football Championship and the tenth since the re-brand to Prima Categoria. Champions for the fifth time in six seasons (punctuated only by their protest three season previous), were Pro Vercelli. Regulation Football in Italy expanded its popularity during the 10’s, but the expedition of the Italian football team to the Stockholm Olympics had a disappointing very poor result. In summer 1912, minor clubs took control over the Italian Football Federation, and imposed a championship reform. New vicepresidents Mr.Valvassori and Mr.Faroppa created a new format with more clubs but more groups, regionalising the tournament. The competition was expanded from 14 Northern Italian clubs to over 30 clubs, including Central and Southern Italian clubs to make it the most genuinely national Italian Football Championship so far. Two regional round robin tournaments took place, each initially sub-divided into three further sub-tournaments. The old main tournament was split in two groups of six clubs, with solely ten matchdays, while the Oriental group became a full member of the championship. Best two clubs of each group went to the final group. Last clubs should be relegated. An experimental Southern section was introduced.
