1914–15 Prima Categoria

The 1914–15 Prima Categoria season was won by Genoa.

Prima Categoria
Season1914–15
ChampionsGenoa
7th title

This championship was suspended due to Italy entering World War I.

Despite the season not concluding, Genoa was declared champion by the Federation after the end of the War, because it was on top of the table with one game remaining in Northern Italy Final Round.[1]

In 2015, a group of Lazio supporters officially asked the Italian Football Federation to assign the scudetto to both Genoa and Lazio, because Lazio was the winner of the Central Italy Semifinal Round (Southern Italy Round was not completed).[2]
