The CONI's President Lando Ferretti decided to close both federations acting a forced merging of skating and hockey teams into the new FIPR supervising the programmed developing of the roller skating sport in Italy.

The "italian championship" turned into "National Division", new denomination adopted from 1928 to 1942.

At the beginning of season 1987-1988 offices moved to Milan just to find a closer location suitable to air and railway main transport stations.

The board of direction opted for the Stazione Centrale, in Via Ponte Seveso, just 100 meters away the railway station.

The first eight placed teams of the regular season fight for the championship in an elimination format in a best-out-of-3 series.
