Israel

 

Israel - List of Champions

Football probably was introduced in Palestine in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century by missionary schools. In 1908 two football teams were formed, one by the school of Rawat al Ma'aref, the other by St George's School in Jerusalem. In 1920 the British established the Jerusalem Sports Club, where football, tennis and cricket were played. Additionally, British service teams such as Police, Air Force, Army and others played football.

In the 1920s several Arab clubs (Dajani Sports Club of Jerusalem, several Orthodox clubs) were established; by the start of the 1930s, there were about 20.

In 1921 a first league was formed, the Government Department League, which only operated in Jerusalem; it only lasted until 1925 due to reduction of the British personnel in the various departments. The Al-Zahra league, also restricted to Jerusalem, which initially included a few Jewish clubs became the first (and only) "integrated" league in the country when it was joined by Rawdat al Ma'aref and Arab Sports Club in 1923. A number of cup competitions were also played; in Jerusalem these included one operated by The Sports Club between 1924 and 1927 (when Royal Air Force won the trophy outright), the Jerusalem Flower Cup (first held in 1923 with as participants Rawdat al Ma'arif, YMCA, Arab SC, Shell, Ofir and HanoarHaoved) and the Municipal Cup competition.

Note that the Palestine FA was formed in 1928; in the same year, it submitted a report submitted to FIFA (in order to apply for membership of the worldwide organisation) describing 3 soccer divisions in Palestine, with 10 teams in the first, 20 in the second (5 of them Arab), and 39 in the third (6 of them Arab); however, this was deliberate misinformation (not to say a pack of lies) by PFA founder Yosef Yekutieli ( Zusmanovitz), as was the claim in the report that the PFA had been formed in 1927 (apparently in order to take credit for organising the cup tournament that year, cf. [Bli 19], pp. 97 ff.): there was no league competition at the time, and nowhere near 50 Jewish football clubs as implied by the report.
No official league championship was played until the 1932 edition; there only were cup competitions 1928-1930 and sources (such as 
[FIF 31]) crediting Maccabi Hashmonai Jerusalem with a 1928 championship title just upgraded their win in the controversial cup competition of that year. The same applied for the supposed championships of Maccabi Tel-Aviv in 1929 and 1930; the latter was actually won by their reserve side.
