1941–42 Prima Divisione
The Prima Divisione 1941–42 was the seventh edition of the amatorial Regional First Division of football played in Italy.
Competition
[edit]During the 1930s, football under the Serie C was only regional and amatorial. Each of the 18 regions of Italy of that time could manage its one championship whose winner was promoted to C.[1]
However, only 15 out of the 18 regions received sufficient inscriptions to activate a tournament. Lombardy and the other regions of Northern Italy, the richest and strongest ones, maintained additional spots.[2]
Relegated from C:
