The 1927-28 Divisione Nazionale was the twenty-eighth edition of the Italian Football Championship. This was the second of three seasons of the Italian Football Championship re-branded to Divisione Nazionale. It was also the fifth season from which the Italian Football Champions' adorned their team jerseys in the subsequent season with a Scudetto. The 1927âÂÂ28 Divisione Nazionale season was the first Italian Football Championship won by Torino.
Divisione Nazionale was organised into two non-geographical round robin contests. In 1927-28 it was contested by 19 Northern Italian clubs plus SS Lazio, AS Roma and SSC Napoli. The top four teams from each of they two round robins then decided the championship via a round robin finals contest. Novara, Pro Patria, Reggiana and Lazio joined from the lower First Division. Some clubs in Rome and Genoa were merged. Newly formed AS Roma (from three merged clubs) and SSC Napoli joined the championship as special guests by order of the fascist authorities, to allow a wider representation of Southern Italy.
