# 1915–16 Milan FBCC season

During the 1915–16 season Milan Foot-Ball and Cricket Club competed in the Coppa Federale.

## Summary

This season the championship was suspended by the federation due to participation of Italy to the First World War. The FIGC organized an alternative competition, the Coppa Federale (Federal Cup), in which the most important teams from Northern Italy participated, including Milan. However, these teams did not have a full roster, as many players had left for the front. For Milan, among the most important absences worth mentioning are those of Louis Van Hege, the club's top scorer for the previous five seasons, Rossoneri veteran Alessandro Scarioni and Cesare Lovati.
On the other hand, Aldo Cevenini returned to Milan, scoring 10 goals in 9 matches, and helping the club to win the Federal Cup ahead of Juventus, Modena and Genoa. This was the first important trophy won by Milan after the three league titles achieved at the beginning of the century, even if the tournament won by the Rossoneri is not counted as official by the Italian federation.
In 1915 Milan changed headquarters for the third time, moving from the Bottiglieria Franzini to the Birreria Spatenbräu, now called Birreria Colombo, thus returning to its previous headquarters.
