Juventus won the championship on goal differential. Targu Mures protested the results, invoking the lack of transfer regulations that allowed Juventus to strengthen their club with several former Venus players shortly before the championship commenced, and claiming that their win over Venus was "suspect". The federation responded to the complaint, saying they would investigate the case, and respond with the verdict. However, no research was done, and Targu Mures never received a response.
Cupa Romaniei
The federation decided to organize a tournament for the Cupa Romaniei/Cupa d. Ministru Gh. Vantu, with two teams from Bucharest (Venus and Juventus) and three provincial squads (Targu Mures, Cluj and Miercurea Ciuc) participating. The games were planned to take place between February 1 and 6.
A third team from the capital, PTT Bucharest, also sought to participate in the cup. On February 1, they faced Juventus.
- 2/1: Juventus Bucharest - PTT Bucharest 5:0 (1:0, 2:0, 2:0)
The ice then melted just before a scheduled game between Venus and PTT. Juventus was awarded the cup, as the only team to have won a match in the tournament.
