1921–22 Prima Categoria (FIGC)

Prima Categoria
1921–22 Novese team
Season 1921–22
Champions Novese
1st title

The 1922–23 Prima Categoria season was won by Novese.

During the Summer of 1921, a dispute between the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio (FIGC) and the main teams arose. The teams asked for a reduction of the number of participants in the 1a Divisione.

Vittorio Pozzo developed a plan to accommodate the teams' requests, but, after a vote, the plan was not passed: 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, anyway, lasted only one season and the following Summer FIGC accepted to reduce the participants.

The FIGC winner was U.S. Novese.
