The 2025 Torneo Juvenil Sub-18 was the 1st edition of the Torneo Juvenil Sub-18, the top division of youth football in Peru. The under-18 teams of 19 Peruvian Primera División clubs participated in the league.[1][2][3]
On August 19, 2025, the Peruvian Football Federation officially announced the exclusion of Binacional from Liga 1 and the 2025 Torneo Juvenil Sub-18, following a court ruling that annulled the injunction which had allowed the club to return to the first division after its relegation in 2023. In its statement, the FPF indicated that the Juliaca-based team will no longer be allowed to participate in professional tournaments.[4]
