The tournament was organized in a single table for the first time.

Events

The league was organized into a single division of 18 teams.

  • 5 had been relegated from Serie B after 1951–52 season;
  • 11 had confirmed their places in the third division for the performances in 1951–52 Serie C;
  • 2 obtained the place after a 4 teams qualification round.
