In 1928 the fascists allowed for 1929 the start of the Serie A they stopped in 1926, not before to readmit SS Lazio and SC Napoli to allow a wider representation of Southern Italy, and AS Livorno and La Dominante to avoid odd groups.

More, during the summer the FIGC decided another expansion of the championship to allow a wider representation of the territories annexed after WWI, to save the remaining two clubs of the closing season, and to include AC Fiorentina and three other minor clubs, effectively making the new tournament a mixed Serie A-Serie B championship that should split into the two leagues.

Lazio 2–2[1] Napoli

Both clubs were admitted to the Serie A to allow a wider representation of Southern Italy.

Mitropa qualifications

edit

Italy was invited to join the 1929 Mitropa Cup when the championship was not yet finished, so the FIGC decided a playoff between the apparent runners-up Juventus and Milan, and two out of the three remaining football giants Inter and Genoa.

Because of the sole points were considered by the championship regulations, with no relevance to the aggregation of goals, a tie-break was needed.
