Primera División Peruana 2001
Encyclopedia
The 2001 season of the Torneo Descentralizado, was the 85th season of the top category of Peru
vian football (soccer)
. It was played by 12 teams. The national champion was Alianza Lima
.
The national championship was divided into two half-year tournaments, the Torneo Apertura
and the Torneo Clausura
. Each was played on a home-and-away round-robin
basis. The winners of each would play for the national title in a playoff. If the same club had won both tournaments, it would have won the national championship automatically.
Following-season Copa Libertadores berths went to each half-year tournament winner, and the winner of a playoff between the second placed teams in each half. The bottom team on the aggregate table was relegated, while the eleventh place would hold a relegation/promotion playoff against the winner of the Segunda División (Second Division), but a playoff had to be played between the 10th and 11th teams since both obtained the same number of points (goal difference did not count as a tie-breaker). Playoffs also had to be played for each half-year title, following ties in points between the top two.
