Following its occupation by British troops in 1917–1918, Palestine was governed by the Occupied Enemy Territory Administration.

Maccabi societies resumed activities in several cities and settlements,[2] including Jerusalem, Tel Aviv,[3] Petah Tikva[4] and Hadera.

Following the Jaffa riots in May 1921, footballing activity stopped, except for one match, played on 25 May 1921.
