These competitions had been established in different years, depending on when football was introduced and developed in each district. The district leagues ran concurrently with the Peruvian Primera División and formed part of the broader structure of Peruvian football.Historia de FBC Melgar 1965El Primero de la Nueva EraUniversitario 1966Peru - List of Final Tables Historical background Alongside the 1965 Peruvian Primera División, various district football leagues were held across Peru; these were not integrated into a national league system organized by the Peruvian Football Federation. As a result, provincial clubs faced teams from Lima and Callao only in friendly matches, since no official nationwide competition existed to bring them together. To integrate football at a national level, it was decided that, starting in 1966, the Primera División would adopt a nationwide format under the name Torneo Descentralizado. For this purpose, four provincial teams — representing the leagues considered the most competitive and stable — were invited to join the ten clubs that had participated in the 1965 Primera División. The district champions of Arequipa, Ica, Trujillo, and Piura were invited to take part: MelgarHistoria de FBC Melgar: Invitación a la Primera División de 1966 (Arequipa), Octavio Espinosa (Ica), Alfonso Ugarte de Chiclín (Trujillo), and Atlético Grau (Piura). Liga Distrital de Arequipa In July 1966, the Liga Provincial de Arequipa was invited by the Peruvian Football Federation to nominate a team to take part, as a guest, in the first edition of the 1966 Torneo Descentralizado. The tournament began in August of that year. At the time the decision had to be made over which Arequipa club would enter professional football, FBC Aurora and the president of the Provincial League, Félix Montesinos, was on one of their regular international tours in northern Chile. In their absence, Melgar's directors requested that the spot be allocated to their club, citing their status as back-to-back Arequipa champions in 1964 and 1965.Algo de Historia: Melgar y su acreditación al Descentralizado 1966 Standings main football complete Peru 1965 season MEL PIE WHI MIR ISA IND HUR AUR LEO VIC CL rel 10 5 3 39 21 C 9 5 4 38 25 8 6 4 32 23 8 4 6 27 25 8 4 6 26 27 7 2 9 28 30 5 6 7 27 35 5 5 8 24 31 4 4 10 22 33 3 5 10 17 30 R Melgar Piérola White Star Independiente Miraflores Deportivo Isabelino Independencia Sportivo Huracán Aurora León del Sur Sport Victoria del Huayco 2 QR green1 1966 Torneo Descentralizado red1 1966 Segunda División Distrital Liga Distrital de Ica Between 1961 and 1965, Club Octavio Espinosa won five consecutive titles in the Liga Distrital de Ica, one of the most successful runs in the club's history.
