1977-78 Cuban National Series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1977-78 Cuban National Series was a watershed in that it coincided with Cuba's administrative restructuring of 1977, which created fourteen provinces. Pinar del Río's Vegueros won the title, with a slim victory over Havana's Industriales.
[edit] Restructuring
Teams were renamed along these lines, many taking the names of their new locations.
Three provinces kept two teams:
- Havana (city): Industriales and Metropolitanos
- Pinar del Río Province: Vegueros and Forestales
- Matanzas Province: Citricultores and Henequeneros
Additionally, the special administrative area of Isla de la Juventud had its own team, despite not being a province.
This league structure survives today in a similar form.
