1997|1999|overview file This year 29 teams qualified for the Etapa Regional (Regional Stage): 26 champions from each department (including 2 from Lima (the capital) - Peru is politically divided in 24 Departments and 1 Constitutional Province), and the 3 teams (not from Lima) relegated last year from the First Division. All these teams are divided into 8 groups by geographical proximity; then each winner qualifies for the Etapa Nacional (National Stage). Those 8 teams will play, again by geographical proximity, home and away matches, in a knock-out tournament. The winner of the final will be promoted to the First Division. Notes. 1. Between brackets, after each team's name, its department of origin. 2. Only points totals are known, scores are hardly reported in the press.
