## Champions

Following is the list of all Campeonato Citadino de Porto Alegre champions:

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.

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)
