Final Tables Argentina Second Level 1935-2006/2007

Previous history

The first championship of football played in Argentina was held in 1891 and was organized by the Argentine Association Football League. Excepting a year without competition (1892), the championships were played regularly since 1893. There isn't a Second Level to 1899, when the "Segunda Divisi�n" (Second Division) was created. The new division not promoted teams to the First Level in the early years, and the Champion continued playing in the Second Level. Banfield, which competed in the First Level in 1898, joined the new division by its own decision, and was the first champion of this category. In these years it was usual that the First Level clubs played in the Second Level with their "second teams" (reserves).

Segunda Divisi�n champions:

1899 Banfield 1900 Banfield 1901 Barracas Athletic 1902 Belgrano Athletic "B" (second team) 1903 Barracas Athletic "B" (second team) 1904 Barracas Athletic "B" (second team) 1905 Am�rica 1906 Estudiantes "B" (second team)

Since 1907 champions were promoted to the First Level.

1907 Nacional 1908 River Plate 1909 Gimnasia y Esgrima 1910 Racing Club

In 1911 the Second Level division was renamed as "Intermedia". The division named "Segunda Division" becomes a third Level tournament.

Intermedia champions:

1911 Estudiantes de La Plata

In 1912 the Association split up and the Argentinian football was divided in two separate leagues named Asociaci�n Argentina de Football and Federaci�n Argentina de Football. Both of them had their respective second level tournaments.

1912 (Asoc) Ferro Carril Oeste 1912 (Fed.) Tigre 1913 (Asoc) Hurac�n 1913 (Fed.) Floresta 1914 (Asoc) Honor y Patria - not promoted-(*) 1914 (Fed.) Defensores de Belgrano

(*) Honor y Patria wasn't promoted due to the Association changed its "promotion rules" and was necessary a match between the champions of the second and third Level. Honor y Patria played against San Lorenzo de Almagro, the Second Division (Third Level) champions, and lost by 0-3. San Lorenzo was promoted to the First Level.

In 1915 both associations merged. All the teams from the Federaci�n moved over to the Asociaci�n.

1915 Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata 1916 Sportivo Barracas 1917 Defensores de Belgrano 1918 Eureka

In 1919 a new split happened. A new League was created and named Asociaci�n Amateurs de Football. The Asociaci�n Argentina de Football kept their name and was the only recognized by FIFA.

1919 (Asoc.) Banfield 1919 (Amat) Barracas Central 1920 (Asoc.) El Porvenir 1920 (Amat.) General Mitre 1921 (Asoc.) Sportivo Dock Sud and Alvear 1921 (Amat.) Palermo 1922 (Asoc.) Boca Juniors "B" (second team) 1922 (Amat.) Argentino del Sud 1923 (Asoc.) Boca Juniors "B" (second team) 1923 (Amat.) Liberal Argentino 1924 (Asoc.) Chacarita Juniors 1924 (Amat.) Excursionistas 1925 (Asoc.) Sportivo Balcarce 1925 (Amat.) Talleres 1926 (Asoc.) Nacional (Adrogu�) 1926 (Amat.) Honor y Patria

In 1927 both Leagues merged and the new association was named Asociaci�n Amateurs Argentina de Football. The Second Level tournament was denominated Primera Divisi�n B. The Second Level champions in 1926 weren't promoted to the First Level due to this merger.

Primera Divisi�n B champions:

1927 El Porvenir 1928 Colegiales 1929 Honor y Patria 1930 Nueva Chicago

In 1931, 18 clubs left the League and created a new Professional League. The amateur competition continued to 1934, when the Asociaci�n Argentina de Football was disbanded and all their teams (except those that left the official competition) joined to the Professional League. The Professional League was named Liga Argentina de Football to 1934 and Asociaci�n del F�tbol Argentino (AFA) since that year. There isn't a Professional Second Division until 1934.

The last amateur champions were:

1931 Liberal Argentino 1932 Sportivo Dock Sud 1933 Ramsar Sport Club 1934 Bella Vista

In 1934 a professional Second Level was created. This tournament wasn't promotional to the First Level. In this division played the clubs from the former Amateur First Level along with the "second teams" of the First Level teams.

In 1935 the championship of Segunda Divisi�n was won by Estudiantes de La Plata ("B Team"). The following table includes only the matches played by teams from the Second Level.

So the tournament was interrupted due to a player's strike and later abandoned, AFA decide to give back places in the First Level to the last relegated teams. Then, Atlanta (relegated in 1947) and Ferro Carril Oeste (relegated in 1946) were promoted to the First Level. Relegation to Third Level was suppressed.

To make the Second Level more competitive AFA resolved to relegate several clubs, (including all the teams from Rosario and those from Buenos Aires considered "low-competitive" or without "suitable fields") to the Third Level for the 1950 season. For this reason, along with Excursionistas, relegated due to finished in last place, another eight teams were relegated to the Third Level. Only 12 teams stayed in Primera B for the next season. New Third Level was named Segunda Divisi�n since 1949.

In 1985 AFA modified the structure of its competitions. Primera B was replaced for a new Second Level division named Primera B Nacional. Clubs belonging to Regional Leagues were incorporated with "effective" places (until then they only had competed on First Level National Championships, as "invited" teams but they didn't take part on the regular seasons, with a few exceptions (three teams from C�rdoba).

The season calendar was changed from the "calendar year" to the "European calendar". It starts with the First Level tournament for the 1985/86 season. In between, the Second Level clubs (and the lower levels too) played a tournament named "Apertura" to decide the eight teams that would play in the new division, and ten teams to compete in the new Third Level named Primera B Metropolitana (only to directly affiliated teams).

Championship playoff: HURAC�N CORRIENTES-Talleres (C�rdoba) 2-2/4-1

Hurac�n Corrientes was promoted to Primera A. Talleres (C�rdoba) advanced to the Second Promotion Playoff.

The Primera B Champion (Deportivo Italiano) was joined to the second promotion playoff.

Final round: Uni�n (Santa Fe)-Instituto A.C.C. 3-1/0-1

At the end of the 1995/96 season, AFA decided to modify the structure of the Second Level. The teams were separated in two different groups, named Zona Metropolitana (for directly affiliated teams) and Zona Interior (for indirectly affiliated teams). The zones were composed with 16 teams each one.
Each zone was divided in two sub-zones. The division changes its name from Primera Nacional B to Primera B Nacional.

To complete the 32 teams, AFA held a tournament named Reclasificatorio for the directly affiliated teams, and invited teams from several provincial leagues to complete the Zona Interior.

At the same time AFA created a new Third Level tournament for theindirectly affiliated teams. It began in the 1995/96 season and was named Torneo Argentino A. So, the Third Level was divided in two different tournaments. Primera B Metropolitana (for directly affiliated teams) and Torneo Argentino A (for indirectly affiliated teams). The indirectly affiliated teams had then a Third Level division with "permanent places" for the first time.

Reclassification tournament (to promote five teams for the B Nacional 1996/97):

First and second stages were played only by Primera B Metropolitana teams. Almirante Brown, Arsenal F.C. and Tigre joined in the Third Stage.

First Stage: Temperley-Sportivo Dock Sud 1-1/1-0 Deportivo Armenio-Sarmiento 0-2/2-1 Defensores de Belgrano-San Miguel 0-0/0-3 Defensores Unidos de Z�rate-Talleres 1-0/2-1 El Porvenir-Trist�n Su�rez 0-1/2-3 Argentino (Ros.)-Dep. Laferrere 3-0/0-0 Defensa y Justicia-Arg. de Quilmes 1-1/0-0 [pk 5-4]

Trist�n Su�rez-Almirante Brown 0-3/2-1 Arsenal F.C.-San Miguel 0-0/1-0 Sarmiento-Tigre 1-1/3-1 Temperley-Almagro 0-2/1-6

Almirante Brown and Arsenal F.C. remained in the Second Level. Tigre was relegated to the Third Level. Sarmiento, Almagro and Temperley [�why?] were promoted to the Second Level.

For the indirectly affiliated teams were promoted the following teams:

-Aldosivi (Mar del Plata - Buenos Aires) [defeated Alvarado (Mar del Plata)] -Chaco For Ever (Resistencia - Chaco) [invited] -Gimnasia y Esgrima (C. del Uruguay - Entre R�os) [defeated Patronato (Paran�)] -Olimpo (Bah�a Blanca - Buenos Aires) - [defeated Villa Mitre (Bah�a Blanca)]

Primera B Nacional was increased to 34 teams to the 1999/2000 season.

1999/2000 - PRIMERA B NACIONAL

Before the start of the season AFA resolved to eliminate the "two zones" system for the 2001/2002 season. Because of this it was necessary to relegate six teams this season and seven in the 2000/2001 season, in order to left only 25 teams in the Second Level. In that season another seven teams would be relegated and for the 2002/2003 season only 20 teams played in the Second Level.

Relegation was decided in this way: The two worst averages in each zone were relegated along with the two worst averages from the overall table (the two zones were included). Also, only one team of each third Level division was promoted since this season.
