HISTORY OF THE PRIMERA C METROPOLITANA

The initial name of the league was “Tercera Division” or the Third Division. It was established in 1900 with the first championship belonging to  Buenos Aires English High School. 

In 1911, the División Intermedia was created as the new third tier of the league system. Therefore, Tercera Division became the fourth level. 

In 1944, its name was changed once again to “Primera Amateur”. As of 1962, it was renamed “Primera C Metropolitana” and remained to the present time. 

WHAT IS THE FORMAT OF THE PRIMERA C METROPOLITANA?

The current format of the Argentine Primera C Metropolitana is organized into 2 league tournaments named the Apertura (opening) and the Clausura (closing).  Each team plays every other team once in the Apertura round, and once in the Clausura round at the reverse venue. The winners of the two league titles become champions. 

However, the final results are decided by the overall championship with an end-of-season playoff. The overall winner automatically qualifies for the Primera B Metropolitana. Whilst, the clubs finishing from second to eighth places enter a playoff series to determine the team joining a promotion/relegation playoff against the 2nd lowest-ranked team from the third division.
