1935 Ligas Provinciales de Lima y Callao

The 1935 Ligas Provinciales de Lima y Callao, the second division of Peruvian football (soccer), was played by 11 teams (5 from the Liga Provincial de Lima (Primera B) and 6 from the Liga Provincial del Callao). The tournament winners, Atlético Chalaco and Sporting Tabaco was promoted to the 1937 Peruvian Primera División.^[1][2] From 1931 until 1942 the points system was W:3, D:2, L:1, walkover:0. In this season, the results of a reserve teams league were added as bonus points.

For this new championship some changes were made with respect to the previous tournament. To begin with, the participating teams were divided into two categories. Of the nine teams from the previous year, Alianza Lima, Universitario, Sucre, Sport Boys and Sportivo Tarapacá Ferrocarril remained in the main division, called Primera A,^[3] which ranked in the top five places. While Sporting Tabaco, Unión Carbone and Ciclista Lima became part of Primera B together with the Sport Progreso and Sportivo Melgar from the 1934 División Intermedia.

In 1936, No official tournament took place, because the Peru national football team competed at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games and 1937 South American Championship. For this reason, the champions ascended to the 1937 Peruvian Primera División.^[4] However, these clubs participated in the 1936 Unofficial Peruvian Tournament, which was an amateur non official Tournament (“Division de Honor”) of Lima and Callao but organized by Peruvian Football Federation (FPF).^[5]
