Lazio 1928-29

National Division: Lazio came eighth in Group B and were forced to a playoff with Napoli ti determine who would play in Serie A for the 1929-30 season. The first game ended in a draw and a second was programmed. After a first postponement, the Federation decided to increase the number of Serie A teams so there was no need for the playoff. Hence the Biancocelesti qualified for the first Serie A championship.
