[1] after a scandal which involved the annulment of a 1-0 by Hapoel
Haifa, apparently against British Police; championship had 9
participants.
[2] the 1934/35 championship was abandoned with Hapoel Tel-Aviv
leading the standings; earlier sources credited them with winnning
the title, but they were not declared champions by the PFA at the
time.
[3] IFA earlier listed Hapoel Tel-Aviv as champions, but this was a
mistake, meanwhile as such acknowledged by the IFA.
[4] the league was abandoned due to the Arab revolt long before the
end of the season; some sources credit Hapoel Tel-Aviv with the
championship but this is incorrect as other clubs could still
overtake them in the table and the PFA did not declare them champions.
[5] no national championship was held; the Tel-Aviv district league was
won by Maccabi Tel-Aviv, that of Jerusalem by Police Depot; the
champions of Haifa are not known.
[6] no national championship was held; there were separate competitions
for Hapoel clubs (won by Hapoel Tel-Aviv) and for Maccabi and Beitar
clubs (won by Maccabi Avshalom Petah-Tikva); in addition there were
regional leagues in Jerusalem and in the northern region.
[7] in 1942/43, three regional leagues were played, in Haifa, Jerusalem
and Tel-Aviv; the Haifa league was abandoned while the champions of
Jerusalem (Homenetmen) and Tel-Aviv (Maccabi Tel-Aviv) were to play
off for the championship; Homenetmen refused to enter and Maccabi
were declared champions; this championship is apparently not
considered official by the IFA.
[8] the 1943/44 championship was abandoned with about two dozen matches
left to play; leaders Hapoel Tel-Aviv were declared champions.
[9] there were two regional leagues: the southern district championship
was won by Beitar Tel-Aviv, the northern district by Hapoel Tel-Aviv.
[*] according to new research published at the end of 2002; previous IFA
records had Hapoel Tel-Aviv as 1936 and 1938 champions and Maccabi
Tel-Aviv as 1939 champions; district leagues were played in 1938 and
1939 with as Tel-Aviv winners Hapoel Tel-Aviv (1938 (played in 2nd half
of year) and 2nd half of 1939) and Maccabi Tel-Aviv (1st half of 1939).
