About Estonian Championship

The Estonian Football Championship was established in 1921 and held 19 official seasons until 1940, when Estonia was occupied by the Soviet Union. During this period, the competition changed names several times: it was known as A-klass (1921–1923), I klass (1924–1926), and Liiduklass (1927–1940).

The early years were dominated by Sport Tallinn, which won a total of nine titles, making it the most successful club of the era. Other notable teams included Kalev Tallinn and Tallinna Jalgpalli Klubi, both of which secured multiple championships during the 1920s.

In the mid-to-late 1930s, Estonia Tallinn emerged as the leading club, winning five consecutive titles between 1934 and 1939. The final official championship before World War II was won by Olümpia Tartu in 1939–40. Wartime seasons between 1941 and 1944 were either unfinished or considered unofficial.
