Serie B Profesional (Chile)
Football league
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Serie B Profesional (usually called simply Serie B) was the second division of Chilean football (soccer) in 1935 until 1942.[1] The tournament was played on a home-and-away round-robin basis. It was established by the Asociación de Fútbol de Santiago (AFS), affiliated with the Chilean Football Federation, and at that time it corresponded to the lower of the two professional divisions of Chilean football. The most successful team was Universidad de Chile, which won the tournament on two occasions.

Although it was established as a second tier to the First Division, promotion and relegation with the top flight were only sporadically implemented. Together with the División de Ascenso founded in 1943 and the División de Honor Amateur launched in 1949, Serie B laid the groundwork for what is now Primera B.
