It was arranged to coincide with the international exhibition being held in France that year. Eight clubs from around Europe were invited to participate. The tournament was won by Italian champions Bologna, who beat English side Chelsea 4–1 in the final.[1][2][3] Bologna's victory marked the first time that an Italian team won an international tournament against an English team.[4]
