Relegation and promotion

Torneo Nacional de Ascenso Champions Hispano Americano covered the berth left by Juventud Sionista, who lost the relegation playoffs against Lanús. Lanús, however, withdrew from the League due to financial difficulties and sold its spot.[1] The berth was purchased by Atlético Echagüe,[2] who would be relegated at the end of the season after losing the relegation series against Boca Juniors.
