1928–29 Prima Divisione

The 1928–29 Prima Divisione was a lower national league of the 29th Italian football championship.

In 1928, the fascists allowed the FIGC to complete the reform of the league structure of Italian football. The top-level league was the National Division, composed by the two divisions of Serie A and Serie B. Under them, there were the local championship, the major one being the First Division, that in 1935 will take the name of Serie C. The winners of the three groups of First Division would be promoted to Serie B, whereas the scheduled relegations were annulled by the Federation which expanded the division.

Teams
To close the claims of the Northern clubs which had been excluded from the national championships in 1926, half of the members of this tournament were taken from the Second Division: so, the DDS took quite the same members of the disbanded pre-1926 Lega Nord. 21 teams were members of the previous season, 21 promoted or invited club from the Second Division plus Grion Pola as last-minute team were added. Southern clubs were excluded.
