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