Notes

edit
  1. ^ The Buenos Aires English High School changed its name to "Alumni" in 1901.
  2. ^ The Federación Amateurs de Football (FAF) was a rival association that organized its own championships from 1912 to 1914.
  3. ^ The Asociación Amateurs de Football (AAm) was a rival association that organized its own championships from 1919 to 1926.
  4. ^ The Liga Argentina de Football (LAF) was a dissident league that organised the first professional championships from 1931 to 1934. In 1935 it merged with the official AFA league (that remained amateur). As a result, all the AFA teams were relegated to the second division.
