The '''1932 season''' of the [[Mitropa Cup]] [[association football|football]] club tournament was won by an Italian club for the first time. 

The winners were [[Bologna F.C. 1909|AGC Bologna]]; after they defeated the holders, [[First Vienna FC|First Vienna]] in the semi-finals, they were awarded the cup as the final was scratched after [[Juventus FC|Juventus]] and [[Slavia Prague]], who contested the other semi-final, were both ejected from the competition following stone throwing and a pitch invasion in Prague, in what has been described as the worst violence ever in the competition's history.<ref name="magnet">{{cite web | last = Scharnbeck | first = Johannes | title = Ein doppelter Publikumsmagnet | publisher = 11 Freunde | date = 2007-05-24 | url = http://www.11freunde.de/international/101881 | accessdate = 2008-09-21 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070906234220/http://www.11freunde.de/international/101881 | archive-date = 2007-09-06 | url-status = dead }}</ref> In one incident, Slavia goalkeeper [[František Plánička]] was badly injured when he was hit by a stone thrown by a spectator.<ref>[https://www.rsssf.org/tablesm/mit32.html Mitropa Cup 1932 report] - by Karel Stokkermans, RSSSF, 1999. Retrieved 2008-09-21</ref> 

Despite the violence, [[Hugo Meisl]], president of the [[Austrian Football Association]], described the competition as a doubly valuable public magnet (''Diese Mitropa-Cup-Konkurrenz erscheint ein doppelt schätzbarer Magnet für das Publikum zu sein'').<ref name="magnet"/>

This was the sixth edition of the tournament. [[Renato Cesarini]] of Juventus was the highest scorer with five goals.

<sup>1</sup> The match was abandoned with Juventus leading 2-0 after the crowd, enraged Slavia had conceded two quick goals in the match and resorted to obstruction and time wasting, threw stones onto the pitch. After a stone hit and seriously injured Slavia goalkeeper [[František Plánička]], Slavia's team walked off; both teams' fans invaded the pitch in response, leaving Slavia pinned in their dressing rooms for hours while 1,500 soldiers and policemen formed a cordon. Slavia Prague and Juventus FC were both ejected from the competition.
