Primera División de Fútbol Profesional - Apertura 2001
Encyclopedia
The Primera División de Fútbol Profesional
Apertura 2001 season (officially "Torneo Apertura 2001"), started on August 26, 2001, and finished on December 23, 2001.
This season saw Alianza F.C.
win its 8th league title after a 2-1 victory over C.D. Luis Ángel Firpo
in the final.
This was the first season that saw promotion/relegation
used on a once a year basis, rather than every six months as had been a custom in previous years. This ment that teams could now only be promoted/relegated
once a year, after both the Apertura and Clausura
seasons had ended. At which time, the teams promoted/relegated
would be decided by comparing accumulated points on aggregate over both Apertura and Clausura
seasons. At this point, the bottom team would automatically be relegated
to the Segunda División de Fútbol Salvadoreño
, while the winner of that division would be brought up to take their spot.
