Winners club national championship

Belgium: Germinal Beerschot

Germany: The 1922 championship was not awarded. Hamburger SV and 1. FC Nürnberg had qualified for the final and played two matches, which finished 2–2 and 1–1, both after extra time. The second match was abandoned after Nürnberg had only seven players left (eight were at the time required); initially the title was awarded to HSV (since Nürnberg had caused the abandonment), but this was revoked after an appeal by Nürnberg; another appeal by HSV followed, and at an extraordinary general meeting of the German FA they were awarded the title again, but they declined to accept it.
Greece: 1913 to 1922 – no championship titles due to the First World War and the Greco-Turkish War of 1919–1922.
