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]
