HISTORY OF THE PRIMERA A

Initially, the Campeonato de Fútbol Femenino was first played in 1991 with 8 participating teams. River Plate won the first championship. Since 2009, the best team in the league has the right to join the Copa Libertadores de Fútbol Femenino.

From the 2011-12 edition, the AFA allowed non-affiliated clubs to play in the competition as guest teams. Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA) and Vélez Sársfield de Mercedes were the first clubs in that condition to take part in the league. 

It was declared that the Argentine Primera Division A Women would become professional from the 2019-20 season. The Association committed to giving each club AR$ 125,000 for players' salaries. The AFA's facilities can be used by clubs that don't have a venue to host their home games as well.
