1929 in Argentine football

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

1929 saw the 35 teams in the "Asociación Amateurs Argentina de Football" Primera División divided into two groups. The top 2 of each group qualified for the final stages of the tournament, which was eventually won by Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata.

The season was marred by mass abandonment of games, defending Argentine champions Huracán withdrew from 8 of their fixtures leaving them to finish in 14th place in their group. Several other teams withdrew from multiple games.
