Turkish Football Championship

The championship was organised by the Turkish Football Federation (then called Futbol Hey'et-i Müttehidesi).

[1] The tournament system was based on a knockout competition, contested between the winners of each of the country's regional leagues.

It was no longer the top-flight championship in Turkey, leaving only amateur teams as participants.

In 1927 the Turkish government funded the championship and the expenses of the clubs, so that they could afford the trip to the capital Ankara, where all matches took place in the first two editions.

From this year on the champions were decided in the so-called Final Group, which consisted of the champions of the three major regional leagues (Istanbul, Ankara, and İzmir Leagues), and the winners of a qualification play-off, contested by the winners of the regional qualification groups.
