Games from rounds 9 to 11 were played in Bucharest because of a decision made by Football Central Committee, in order to see all the players for the national team. Thus, the match between Ştiinţa Cluj and Dinamo, originally scheduled in Cluj-Napoca, held in Bucharest.
The game between Dinamo and Casa Armatei Câmpulung Moldovenesc, in the 16th round, never took place, the Bucovina club being disbanded, following a decision taken by the Republican Association CCA to have only one representative in football (in this case CCA Bucharest).
