Bella Vista qualify for Copa Libertadores 1999.
Rentistas and River Plate will both play Copa Conmebol 1999, since
Peñarol (as Supercopa participants) are not eligible for it.
Six teams have presented a request to be included in the first division 1999:
Bella Vista (Paysandú, Paysandú)
San Eugenio (Artigas, Artigas)
Deportivo Maldonado (Maldonado, Maldonado)
Oriental (Rivera, Rivera)
Deportivo Tacuarembó (Tacuarembó, Tacuarembó)
Juventud (Las Piedras, Canelones)
Of those six, three were given a license:
Bella Vista (Paysandú, Paysandú)
Deportivo Maldonado (Maldonado, Maldonado)
Deportivo Tacuarembó (Tacuarembó, Tacuarembó)
The Primera División Profesional will therefore contain 15 clubs
in 1999.

Profesional after the season, together with Tacuarembó FC and Atlético
