THE DETAILS OF THE NEW TOURNAMENT
Format. What is coming is a classic tournament in which everyone will play against everyone, on a single wheel. This means that, being 26 teams, 25 dates will be played, with a system similar to the last Super League 2019/2020. The champion will be the team that scores the most points.
Descents. There will not be. As what happened in 2020, the loss of category will continue without effect. Although, the points that are added will be considered to calculate the averages that will define, at the end of 2022, which teams will descend to the First National (the amount is not yet defined). The points to be taken into account will cover the 2019/20 (pre-pandemic), 2021 (current) and 2022 seasons. Diego Maradona Cup points will not be taken into account.
The classics. As the localities were reversed, the venues for the interzonal duels of the last Professional League Cup were modified. Thus they were conformed.
