The clubs in the Association of Central German Ball Game Clubs were again divided into three districts (Gaue) in the 1903/04 season, with only the winners of Gaue I and II qualified for the finals, since Gau III only functioned as a lower class league. The Magdeburg clubs were still organized in the Association of Magdeburg Ball Game Clubs and played their own football champions.
The Gau III had the status of a lower class league, so the winner could not take part in the Central German football final. In the league played this season the BSC Hohenzollern 99 Merseburg , the FC Preußen Weißenfels , the Weißenfelser SC 1903 , the SC Naumburg and the Zeitzer BC 1903 . All the clubs in this Gau moved to the newly created Gau Saale for the coming season.
Championship final
The winners of Gaue I and II were qualified for this year's final.
