If you win the final, you will be promoted automatically. If he loses, he will play against the 16th place in the highest category two additional games to be promoted.
Extraction for League 2 will take place on April 15. The tournament is scheduled to be played from May 1 to October 12, in its regular phase, and from October 22 to November 18 in Simulate. The playoff with the third that will last in League 1 will be a round trip, between December 4-11. Failure to hold the Peru Cup could change some of these details.
Carlos Bustos’ challenge
Argentine Carlos Bustos He will end his fourth consecutive year in Peru, after directing U. San Martín (2018-2019) and FBC Melgar (2020), a team where he could not complete his contract. Coach River Plate has in his hands one of the biggest challenges in the history of Alianza Lima, returning to the highest category. It should be remembered that he promoted in Mexican football in Dorados de Sinaloa six years ago.
It should be remembered that in the days when our football was not yet professional, Alianza Lima was relegated in December 1938. Even so, it was relegated to a promotion league, as the Second Division, as we know it today, he started playing a few years later. In La Victoria they are confident that they can overcome this bad moment in one season.
