The 1947 Balkan Cup, officially called the Balkan and Central European Championship, was played between May and October 1947 between Albania, Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia and Hungary. It was Hungary's first participation in the tournament (which is why the term "and Central European" was added to the name). Hungary won every match that it played, and won the overall tournament.{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesb/balkancup.html|title=Balkan Cup (For Nations)|website=RSSSF|accessdate=21 May 2022}}{{cite web |url=https://eu-football.info/_tournament.php?id=BlCh-2 |title=Balkan and Central European Championship 1947 results |publisher=EU-Football |accessdate=21 May 2022}}
