After having played two matches, Grêmio left the league due to a problem with the International–Fuss Ball match. The referee designated by Grêmio would have been disrespected by athletes of the International. Grêmio then creates the AFPA. Common mistake: considering Grêmio champion of 1913.[4]

In February 1917, the FSRG passed the "internship law", a ploy to prevent professionalism. Grêmio, which had just signed three Uruguayan players, felt that it was harmed and left the FSRG. The following year, Grêmio returned to FSRG.

At the end of 1918, another disagreement. Grêmio, Internacional, Fuss Ball, São José, Tabajara,Cruzeiro and Colombo leave the FSRG and found APAD. The new association joins the newly founded Rio Grandense Sports Federation (FRGD) which would give rise to the Federação Gaúcha de Futebol (FGF)

Internacional considers itself champion of the 1920 edition.[5]

In August 1923, the leagues agreed. APAD incorporates APAF clubs. In the second semester, APAD organizes the continuation of the two tournaments, now renamed: the first called Torneio Rio Branco with the original APAD clubs and second called Torneio Ruy Barbosa with the clubs from the extinct APAF. A final match was planned between the two champions, but it didn't happen. APAD champion clubs will once again compete in the 1923 Campeonato Gaúcho edition.

Federação Porto Alegrense de Foot-Ball (FPAF)

edit

Parallel to the dispute of the main leagues, other leagues were created by the city. The main competitor of FSRG and after APAD was FPAF.
