IFA Competitions

1930–31 Palestine League

An attempt was made to organize a Palestine League, with the participation of 11 clubs, both Jewish and British. However, league matches were suspended after a few weeks due to the animosity of the Jewish crowds towards British military teams. An attempt to revive the league with Jewish clubs only also failed.^[2]

Notable Events

In October 1930 the Hapoel organization held the second Hapoel Games in Tel Aviv. In a single football match during the event a Jerusalem XI team (composed of Maccabi Hasmonean Jerusalem and British Police players) met a Hapoel XI (composed of Hapoel Tel Aviv and Hapoel Haifa players). The Hapoel XI won 2–0.^[2]
In a meeting in held in June 1930 in Jaffa, the Arab Palestine Sports Federation was established, as a governing body for Arab sport activities.^[1]
A Mandatory Palestine team, made of Hapoel players, took part in the 1931 Workers' Summer Olympiad football tournament, losing 1–3 to Hungary in the first round, and losing 0–4 to Norway in the consolation tournament. The single goal for the Hapoel team was scored by Stern.^[3]
