1921–22 FCA Championship
==========================

The 1921-22 season event was the second championship of the Association of Football Associations of Athens-Péraeus, now renamed the Association of Football Associations of Greece. The winner for the second consecutive year was the Athens Panhellenic Football & Racing Club.

### Organisation

An increased participation was noted in relation to the respective co-organization of the XANs and PSA-Ps of the previous year. Eight groups of associations or schools took part, including four Athenian and pirated ones. The participating teams included:

* Cyprus Football Association
* School of Hopes (located above the Field of Mars)
* School of Naval Tests
* English Naval Officers

The Cadets faced their foreign instructors, as their school administration had been assigned to staff officers of the British Royal Navy, led by a training specialist. The most powerful teams remained last year's participants Panhellenic PAO, Piraeus Football Association, Athens AS, and Piraeus Association.

### Conduct

The league was held in a single group with the bird system, where all teams played each other in simple meetings at the New Faliro Cycling Centre (now Karaiskaki). The organized under the Association of football clubs began on 24 January. At the beginning, the Royal Family and many officials attended. Prince Paul gave the signal for the start of the games.

The first four results were:

* School of Naval Cadets - English Officers: 1-1
* Panhellenic PAO - Piraeus Association: 0-0
* School of Hopes - Cyprus PS: 1-1
* Experimental Football Association - Athens AS: 0-0

There was a "derby" among the Navy, which aimed to stimulate fans' interest. However, the games ended tied, both without goals.

Later sources reported additional results for the Panhellenic and Athenian teams, as well as the Piraeus Association. According to George Andrianopoulos, the main striker of the Piraeus Association, there were several meetings with multiple episodes and the departure of the team due to petty matters that arose during the first games at the Cycling Centre.
