Ferencváros, with some changes — Papp as full-back and Polgár as centre-half —, would face the young and talented squad of S.K. Slavia Praha. Lyka and Móré would not represent the zöld-fehér shirt.

The Czech side had a young squad with an average age of around 23. S.K. Slavia were preparing a new generation of great players which would fight for even better positions in Mitropa Cup. The youngest player of the team was Bedřich Vacek, a footballer of the S.K. Slavia Praha amateur team.

According to the Hungarians, the team from Budapest was not in their best form compared to the last edition of Mitropa Cup. Ferencváros would start like this:

Háda — Korányi, Papp — Pósa, Polgár, Lázár — Táncos, Kiss, Dr. Sárosi(c), Toldi, Kemény.

The first match took place on Sunday 21 June 1936, with Italian referee Rinaldo Barlassina in charge.
