Primera División Peruana 2001

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2001 season of the Primera División Peruana, the top category of Peruvian football (soccer), was played by 12 teams. The national champion was Alianza Lima.

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

Following-season Copa Libertadores berths went to each half-year tournament winner, and the winner of a playoff between the second placed teams in each half. The bottom team on the aggregate table was relegated, while the eleventh place would hold a relegation/promotion playoff against the winner of the Segunda División (Second Division), but a playoff had to be played between the 10th and 11th teams since both obtained the same number of points (goal difference did not count as a tie-breaker). Playoffs also had to be played for each half-year title, following ties in points between the top two.
