The Copa Provincia de Buenos Aires Presidente Juan Domingo Perón (or simply Copa Campeonato Juan Domingo Perón or Copa Perón) was an official Argentine football cup competition[2][3]

The championship was organized by the Argentine Football Association (AFA) and the Government of Buenos Aires Province.[1] Lanús[4] won the tournament (the first senior title of their history)[1] after defeating Estudiantes (LP) in the final match.[5][6][7]

Overview

[edit]

The competition was contested by seven clubs, mostly of them located within the Buenos Aires Province region (with the exception of Chacarita Juniors) that were competing in Primera División in 1955. Independiente withdrew before the tournament started.

It was played under a single-elimination format, and like Copa Adrián C. Escobar, when a match ended in a tie after the overtime, the team with most corner kicks conceded was declared winner.[8]

The winner should have been awarded three trophies, two by AFA and one by the province. Nevertheless and due to the 1955 coup d'etat that ended the second presidential term of Juan Perón, Lanús was not awarded the cup because the military government had appointed an interventor at the association. AFA did not officialise the title until October 2024,[1] claiming their 7th. senior title.[9]
