The Segunda División (usually called simply Intermedia) was the second division of Peruvian football (soccer) in 1912 until 1925. The tournament was played on a home-and-away round-robin basis.
In 1912 was the first season of top-flight Peruvian football. A total of 16 teams competed in the league. This first season with organised league, covering Lima, Callao, and suburbs such as Miraflores and Barranco. José Gálvez de Lima withdrew because of not agreeing with the competition format. The clubs from Callao (among which Atlético Chalaco) did not respond to the invitation to enter. The 16 teams were divided over a First División and a Second Division, both of 8 clubs. Atlético Grau No. 1 and Atlético Peruano finished equal on points; however, Atletico Grau No. 1 defeated Atlético Peruano in an extra match and was declared the champion of the Segunda División.[1]
On August 23, 1922, the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF) was founded and since 1926 tournaments began to be played under its organization.[2][3] As the second category in the tournament system, the División Intermedia was found, which granted promotions to the champion ( and sometimes to the runner-up)[4] to the Peruvian Primera División. Only the 1928 and 1931 editions did not give direct promotion but rather the classification to a promotion league.
