The 1921 Campeonato Paulista, organized by the APEA (Associação Paulista de Esportes Atléticos), was the 20th season of São Paulo's top association football league. The 2021 edition of the championship expanded, with the addition of Sírio and the return of Germânia. In addition to that, Mackenzie, in financial trouble and increasingly worse results on the latest championships, entered a merger with the recently founded Portuguesa. [1][2] Paulistano won the title for the 8th time. The top scorer was Paulistano's Arthur Friedenreich with 33 goals.[3][4][5]
