- Lazio supporters asked the Italian Football Federation to assign the title to both Genoa and Lazio, because Lazio was the winner of the Central Italy Semifinal Round even if Southern Italy Round was not completed: Francesco Saverio Intorcia (21 July 2016). "Lazio, scudetto 1915, ecco la relazione". Retrieved 22 February 2019.
- FIGCdid not ratified the merger so the club had to play a test match in 1919 to confirm its championship spot.
