The Trofeo de Campeones de la Liga Profesional is an official national football cup of Argentina organized by the Argentine Football Association (AFA), and contested by the winners of Primera División and Copa de la Liga Profesional.

The competition is successor of Trofeo de Campeones organised by defunct Superliga Argentina,[1][2] which was only played once.[3]

Overview

The first edition was planned to be held in 2020 but it was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic therefore the trophy was first contested in 2021 when River Plate (2021 Primera División champion) and Colón (2021 Copa de la Liga Profesional champion) faced each other.[4] The match was held in Estadio Único Madre de Ciudades in Santiago del Estero on December 18, 2021.[5][6][7] River Plate beat Colón 4–0, winning their first Trofeo de Campeones title.

In October 2022, the AFA determined that the postponed 2020 edition would be held on 1 March 2023. As Boca Juniors won both the 2019–20 Primera División and the 2020 Copa LPF, River Plate and Banfield (the runners-up in those competitions) played a semi-final on 22 February 2023[8] to determine who would play Boca Juniors in the final.[9][10]
