Relegation playoff

edit

The Mexican Football Federation decided to increase the number of teams in the Primera División to 20 participants, so it was decided to play a promotion series between León, the last place in the Primera División relegation table, and Veracruz, Primera 'A' season runner-up. Finally, Veracruz was the winner, and the team was promoted to Primera División and León was relegated to Primera 'A'.[2]

Report

Veracruz won 3–1 on aggregate.

After Veracruz Team in Primera A won the promotion, there was already two teams in Veracruz with the same name, for that reason, the owners decided to transfer the team promoted to Tuxtla Gutiérrez, where it was renamed as Jaguares de Chiapas.[3]
