Primera División Peruana 1997

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1997 season of the Primera División Peruana, the top category of Peruvian football (soccer), was played by 14 teams. The national champion was Alianza Lima, after of 19 years of not leave champion.

The national championship was divided into two half-year tournaments, the Torneo Apertura and the Torneo Clausura. Each was played on a home-or-away round-robin basis. The winners of each would play for the national title in a playoff. However, since the same club won both tournaments, it won the national championship automatically.

Following-season Copa Libertadores berths went to the champion, as well as to the winner of a Liguilla (literally "small league") tournament featuring teams between second and seventh place on the aggregate table. This had a round-robin format, with the team obtaining the best results in matchups during the "regular season" playing at home. The runner-up would qualify for the Copa CONMEBOL. The bottom four teams on the aggregate table were relegated.
