1936 Palestine Cup[edit]

The 1936-1939 Arab revolt caused the 1936 Palestine Cup competition, which started on 15 February 1936 to be stopped after only three matches were played.[1]

Non-EIFA tournaments[edit]

South District Cup[edit]

This was a makeshift tournament organized in May 1936. The tournament was held over the Shavuot weekend on the Maccabi Ground in Petah Tikva, which was the only usable ground in the Gush Dan area, as other grounds were in threat of Arab actions during the early stages of the Arab revolt.[2] The tournament was due to be played by Maccabi Tel Aviv, Hakoah Tel Aviv, Maccabi Petah Tikva and Hapoel Tel Aviv, but Hapoel Tel Aviv dropped out of the tournament and was replaced by Maccabi Tel Aviv's junior team, Maccabi Shimon.[2] The tournament was played as a single round-robin tournament. Maccabi Tel Aviv won the cup.[3]
