Forerunners
The FIGC introduced a third-level national football championship for the first time following the reforms of 1926.[2] The Direttorio Divisioni Inferiori Nord, the fascist authority ruling the second division in Northern Italy, introduced a national cup for the group winners.
In 1928 the fascists decided to allow the fully national Direttorio Divisioni Superiori to organize the third-level championship instead. A cup for the group winners, and promotion to newly-born Serie B was maintained.
However, Italian tifosi showed very little interest for this honorific cup, so it was discontinued for seventy years.[3]
