from the İzmir League qualified for the national championship. However, in 1937 the strongest clubs in İzmir had to merge
in order to form competitive teams for the newly introduced National League. As the orders came from the İzmir governor
and mayor, the clubs had no choice but to fulfill the request.

Altay won the championship title and qualified for the 1951 Turkish Football Championship.
The Turkish Championship was held as top-level national championship for the last time in 1951.
Since the Turkish Football Federation introduced professionalism in that year and the İstanbul League
became professional, the amateur second teams of the İstanbul clubs participated in the Turkish
Championship. Hence the Turkish Football Championship can no longer considered to be first level from 1952 onward.
Kayagücü were renamed Karagücü.

In 1955 the İzmir League became professional, changing its name to İzmir Professional Football League. Since military clubs
cannot become professional by Turkish law, they could no longer participate in the professional divisions.
All 10 clubs of the İzmir Professional League participated in the 1956-57 Federation Cup, which was held as a national championship.
