History

Liga Mayor de Fútbol de Lima was a championship of the Province of Lima created in 1976 by the Peruvian Football Federation and remained in force until 1986. Later, it became a precursor championship of the Región IX Metropolitana. Initially it played the role of second category (tournament within the Copa Peru system) until 1984, the year that the second professional category returned.

In 1987, the foundations of Peruvian football were modified again. Liga Mayor de Fútbol de Lima disappeared. The teams that maintained their category and those teams from the capital that were relegated from the first professional league were absorbed and affiliated with the Región IX Metropolitana. However, according to most media outlets at the time, both leagues were merged.

Clarification

The Liga Mayor de Fútbol de Lima and Región IX Metropolitana, from 1975 to 1986, acted as different competitions. The best teams from the district stage entered the Major League. Later, the best ranked teams participated in Region IX. There they faced the teams from the capital that participated in the regional or national stage of the previous season.
In 1987, the Major League disappeared, but its teams participated in the Región IX Metropolitana. However, for many newspapers of the time, both competitions merged into one with the name Liga Mayor de Lima - Region IX. It remained in force until 1990.
