The 1938 Liga Bet season was the second tier league of the Palestine League organized by the EIFA.

Contents

Six teams played in the South division [1] and eight teams were assigned to the North division. [2] However, as the Arab revolt intensified in fall 1938 and with the High commissioner issuing restrictive orders on travel throughout Palestine, [3] the EIFA created a two-tiered league for the Tel Aviv region, with matches played in the league counting towards the national league. [4] The Tel Aviv League was completed on 14 January 1939 [5] and in February 1939 a new league season began, with teams playing in regionalized divisions instead a national league. [6]
