Peru 1998

Primera División

Note: an Apertura and a Clausura championship was played; the winners
are qualified for the Copa Libertadores and play off for the 1998 title.
If the same team would have won both tournaments, it would have been 
the champion and the two runners-up would have played off for the
second Copa Libertadores place.

The team with the worst record in Apertura and Clausura together was relegated;
the one but last team in this table played off against the winners of the
Segunda División (the winners of the Copa Perú were promoted automatically).

Copa Perú (Peruvian 2nd Division) 1998

This year 29 teams qualified for the Etapa Regional (Regional Stage): 
26 champions from each department (including 2 from Lima (the capital) -
Peru is politically divided in 24 Departments and 1 Constitutional Province), 
and the 3 teams (not from Lima) relegated last year from the First Division. 
All these teams are divided into 8 groups by geographical proximity; then each
winner qualifies for the Etapa Nacional (National Stage).

Those 8 teams will play, again by geographical proximity, home and away
matches, in a knock-out tournament.  The winner of the final will be
promoted to the First Division. 
 
Notes.

1. Between brackets, after each team's name, its department of origin.
2. Only points totals are known, scores are hardly reported in the press.

[*] The second leg was abandoned after 81 minutes because of a brawl started by
    Bolognesi players. The F.P.F. (Peruvian Football Federation) declared the 
    match ended by 3-1; and as there then should have been a penalty shootout, 
    I.M.I. were declared 2-0 shootout winners, and hence 1998 champions.
