In this tournament, after many qualification rounds, each one of the 24 departments in which Peru is politically divided qualified a team. Those teams, plus the team relegated from First Division on the last year, enter in two more rounds and finally 6 of them qualify for the Final round, staged in Lima (the capital).
Three teams were promoted to play in 1973 First Division. Although finishing in last place, CNI was promoted as the Peruvian government issued a decree stating that the oriental zone of the country (from where |CNI came) should have a team in First Division.
