The Campeonato Regional de Levante (Levante Championship) was an annual football competition for clubs based in the Valencian provinces, such as Levante, Castellón, Valencia, and Alicante, as well as those belonging to the Region of Murcia.[1][2]
Between 1918 and 1924, the Levante Championship was divided in two: the North Section, which consisted of the clubs from the Valencian provinces, and the South Section, which consisted of the clubs from Murcia and Albacete, and the winners of both sides were then opposed in a two-legged final.[1][2] It was organized by the Levante Football Federation until 1924, when the clubs from Murcia and Albacete left the entity to create the Murcia Football Federation, and as a result, the Levante federation had to be renamed to Valencia; these two entities went on to organize their own regional championship, doing so until 1934, when they came together again.[1][2][3]
1918–19 Campeonato Regional de Levante
[edit source]The Valencian group was won by Gimnástico, who defeated Castellón 1–0 in the final, while the Murcia group was won by Real Murcia; however, the result of the subsequent match between them remains unknown.[1]
