Participating teams edit
Despite AMEA having CBD's official acknowledgement as the official Distrito Federal football league, due to Vasco da Gama's popularity, LMDT's league still had greater attendances, which led AMEA to invite Vasco into the league again, now with the requirements for their entry relaxed, but with the condition that the club didn't play its home matches at their field in the Moraes e Silva street and built a appropriate stadium, which would be completed in 1927.[3] Aside from Vasco, Syrio e Libanez, that also had left LMDT in 1924 but hadn't been included in the 1924 championship entered the championship too. Vasco's exit from LMDT motivated some of the larger clubs in that league to join AMEA as well, but only Vasco was included in the First level, with the others joining the Second level. LMDT continued holding its own championships until 1934, but none of their championships held after 1924 are considered official.[4]
