1929 in Argentine football
1929 saw the 35 teams in the "Asociación Amateurs Argentina de Football" Primera División divided into two groups. The top 2 of each group qualified for the final stages of the tournament, which was eventually won by Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata.
The season was marred by mass abandonment of games, defending Argentine champions Huracán withdrew from 8 of their fixtures leaving them to finish in 14th place in their group. Several other teams withdrew from multiple games.[1] Abandonments of games, discontinuations, and withdrawals were quite common in these early seasons (cf., for instance, the second half of the 1930 season [2]).
