1937–38 Serie A
37th season of top-tier Italian football
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1937-38 Serie A was the thirty-eighth edition of the Italian Football Championship and its ninth since 1929 re-branding to create Serie A. It was the fifteenth season from which the Italian Football Champions adorned their team jerseys in the subsequent season with a Scudetto. Ambrosiana-Inter were champions for the fourth time in their history. This was their second scudetto since the scudetto started being awarded in 1924 and their second win contested as Serie A. This was the first of two Inter punctuations of a run of four Bologna wins from six consecutive Serie A competitions until 1941.
