The1928-29 Divisione Nazionale was the twenty-ninth edition of theItalian Football Championship. It was also the sixth season from which the Italian Football Champions adorned their team jerseys in the subsequent season with aScudetto. This was the third of three seasons of the Italian Football Championship re-branded toDivisione Nazionale (prior to the fourth re-brand that in 1929 createdSerie A andSerie B). The 1928–29 Divisione Nazionale was the second Italian Football Championship won byBologna.
Divisione Nazionale was organised into two non-geographical round robin contests. In 1928-29 it was contested by 27 clubs from what was then within Northern Italy, plus three Central and two Southern Italian clubs. The top team from each of they two round robins then decided the championship via a two-legged final.
In 1928 the fascist regime allowed for 1929 the start of the Serie A they stopped in 1926, not before to readmitSS Lazio andSC Napoli to allow a wider representation ofSouthern Italy, andAS Livorno andLa Dominante to avoid odd groups.
More, during the summer the FIGC decided another expansion of the championship to allow a wider representation of the territories annexed afterWWI, to save the remaining two clubs of the closing season, and to includeAC Fiorentina and three other minor clubs, effectively making the new tournament a mixedSerie A-Serie B championship that should split into the two leagues.

Both clubs were admitted to theSerie A to allow a wider representation ofSouthern Italy.
Italy was invited to join the1929 Mitropa Cup when the championship was not yet finished, so the FIGC decided a playoff between the apparent runners-upJuventus andMilan, and two out of the three remaining football giantsInter andGenoa.
