The 1922 season was the third year of competitive football for the Estonia as an independent nation.

Matches

Finland vs Estonia

11 August 1922 and the match against Finland is in the history books for two reasons. Mainly, because when Arnold Kuulman scored a goal in the 40th minute, he became the first ever to do so for the blueshirts. Secondly, it is still, after almost 90 years, the heaviest defeat Estonia has ever borne. For Kuulman it was the 4th and last appearance for the team. While Jarl Öhman scored a double-hattrick, HJK's Verner Eklöf scored third time in a row against Estonia.
