[edit] Overview

Since 1910 the second division tournaments have changed rules, number of teams and names. As of 2006, División Intermedia is the name for the second division and 10 teams are part of it. The champion of this league gains the right to participate in the First Division and the second placed team plays a play-off game against the second-worst team of the First Division to decide who will play in Paraguay's top division of football. The last two teams are relegated to the third division (called "Primera de Ascenso" for teams from Gran Asunción and UFI Champions Cup for teams outside of the Gran Asunción area). The two spots left by relegated teams are occupied by one team from the Primera de Ascenso and one team from the UFI Champions Cup tournament which is a tournament where teams from the whole country compete, giving them a chance to eventually make it to the first division.
