Northern District

For the first time - and last - in this district, the Sóvár Gymnastics Association entered the championship (most likely at the request of the Košice teams). At the same time, the champion of the northern district last year, the Prešov TVE, withdrew their entry before the start due to repeated judging concerns and unfounded protests.[2]

Eastern District

The Târgu Mureş Sports Association and the Football Club of Cluj-Napoca were named for the first time in this district. The latter, recognizing his moderate playing power and avoiding heavy defeats, stepped back before the first match, but was soon followed by SE in Târgu Mureş.[4]

Urban Second League

After several years of voluntary exile, the reconstituted MAFC and the Postmen re-entered the championship. Both teams in the II. It was classified by the MLSz as Class I, without wishing to discriminate between candidates, and because the number of Class I staff swelled to 11 would have had operational difficulties due to the continued ban on summer football. (They didn't want to distract spectators from the so-called summer sports.) Next to them, with the exception of MUE, which has since ceased to exist, last year's full field was named.

The newly formed National Sports Club spent only its second year in the second division, but with its mature play and steady performance it certainly won the championship title. At the same time, the second place disappointed the “33” FC as it did not provide an opportunity for a possible promotion. The exchange team of the Postmen fell short of the successes of their predecessors. Unfortunately, neither team was able to play through the tournament, one of them KTE once again started the tournament, but we won't meet the name of TLE for years.[5]

For the title of "best rural team"

This year, for the first time, the championship team of the four rural districts took part in the tournament for the title of "Best Rural Team" at the MAC Margaret Island course in Budapest.

Semi-final:

Košice Athletic Club – Cluj-Napoca Commercial Academy Sports Circle 7: 0

Bácska Subotica AC – Győr Understanding Gymnastics Division(Gyor ETO) 0: 0, 0: 5

Final:

Košice Athletics Club – Győr Understanding Tournament Division 3: 2

National championship final

Due to the summer football ban, the first national championship final between the Kassai AC and the Budapest championship team took place on October 3.

Ferencváros Gymnastics Club - Kassai Athletics Club 11: 0

The match showed a very unequal balance of power and showed the gap between capital and rural football at the time.
