Italian Football Championship 1921-22 (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.
