The 1920 season was the first year of competitive football in the Baltic country as an independent nation.

Matches[edit]

The team only played one game in their first year. It was the first time Estonian players played on grass field, as the local teams only played on gravel covered pitches at the time.[1] For Finland, it was the 12th official match.[1]
