1966 Torneo Descentralizado

The 1966 Torneo Descentralizado was the 50th season of the highest division of Peruvian football. This season marked the first time the Primera División was named the Descentralizado because teams outside Lima and Callao were invited for the first time making it the first national championship in Peru.

Election of teams
It was established that fourteen teams would participate in this first national tournament. Given that the necessary financial support to fund a complete transformation was lacking, the process was carried out gradually. Thus, the first Descentralizado tournament retained a still centralist structure: ten teams from Lima and four from the provinces. The four teams invited to play in the inaugural national championship were the district champions of Arequipa, Ica, Piura, and Trujillo: Melgar, Octavio Espinosa, Atlético Grau, and Alfonso Ugarte de Chiclín, respectively. ==Teams==
