Prima Divisione

Season	1921–22
Champions	Pro Vercelli 7th title
← 1920–21 1922–23 →

Italian Football Championship 1921-22 (CCI) 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 CCI (Confederazione Calcistica Italiana), that organized a championship concurrent to the FIGC championship.

This separation only lasted one season and the following summer, FIGC accepted the proposal to reduce the number of participants and subsequently recognized the CCI championship as an official scudetto, alongside their own 1921–22 Prima Categoria (FIGC) that ran concurrently.

The CCI winner was S.G. Pro Vercelli.
