1919 British Inter-Theatre of War Championship

1919 Inter-Allied Games

In the summer of 1919, Italy participated in the Inter-Allied Games in Paris, on the occasion of the celebration of the Allied victory in World War I. This Italian team included five participants of the 1920 Summer Games in the following year and the rest played for the main team at one point. They comfortably beat Canada and the United States, which was the first time, official or otherwise, that Belgium faced a non-European team. However, a 1–4 loss to eventual champions Czechoslovakia on the opening day cost them a place in the final, although Belgium got their revenge by beating them in the final of the 1920 Olympics. [5]
