The time has come: this weekend starts the Professional League Cup, the second edition of this tournament, with several changes in its format, where it is shown very similar to the league championship (Transition Tournament 2016) won by Lanús in the first semester of that year by beating San Lorenzo in the end.
The 2021 LPF Cup, national cup or league tournament?
The 2021 Professional League Cup will be the second edition of Argentine football with a “Cup” format. It slipped at some point that before this new format where It will be 13 dates, all against all with an interzonal of classics on each day, and with a modality of quarters, semis and final very similar to the one that had Lanús as the winner, it could be a “league championship”.
However, since the Argentine Football Association and the Professional Football League did not communicate any changes in this regard and for now, everything will remain for the all against all in the second semester, after the Copa América. That championship will have a more “conventional” format of all against all on a single wheel, whose champion will be the successor of Boca Juniors, last league champion in Argentina.
