Campeonato de Apertura (Perú)

The Campeonato de Apertura also called the Torneo Apertura, it was a Peruvian football competition created and then organized by the Asociación No Amateur (ANA). It was played from 1945 to 1961 and then discontinued until 1969.

The tournament was played before the start of the Peruvian Primera División and had no influence on the tournament. These matches are neither considered official nor friendly since they were closer to an exhibition format than to a real competition for points.

In most editions, the tournament was developed in quadrangles where the four best-placed teams in the final standings of each Peruvian Primera División of the previous year participated.
