The 1897–98 Football Tournament was the 9th staging of The Football Tournament.[1]

This tournament rescued the old format of the first edition where in case of a tie, extra-time was played, and if the match was still level, then the match would be replayed until a winner emerged.

Overview

[edit]

It was contested by 6 teams, and Christianshavns BK managed to play only one match in the tournament, which was a 0–14 loss to Akademisk Boldklub, before the club was disbanded on 29 November 1897. The team's remaining matches are included in the standings as victories for opponents with the figures 0-0.[1] Kjøbenhavns Boldklub won the championship for the third time in their history after beating AB in the decisive match to win the title, 2–0 after extra-time.[1]
