The Argentine Championship was created by the second dissident association: the Asociaci�n Amateurs de Football. AFA recognizes the AAF as one of its ancestors. The team of AFA (or its ancestors AAF or AAAF) was called Porte�os. But in several seasons it entered two teams: Capital and Provincia. AFA has not played in this tournament since 1942. Then, it was used to define the Argentine Upcountry League champion. Mr. Hip�lito Yrigoyen, Argentine Republic president, gave the cup Presidente de la Naci�n Argentina to the champion. The runner-up wins the cup Intendente Municipal de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires Doctor Carlos M. Noel. The third league wins the cup Comit� Ol�mpico Argentino (COA). And the best upcountry league wins the cup Doctor Adri�n Beccar Varela.
