When organized football competitions in Peru resumed after 1925, Centro Sport Unión Miraflores did not return to the national league system. Instead, it went back to its original local competition, then known as the Segunda División Provincial de Lima (equivalent to the third tier). The club competed there for a few years before eventually disappearing.
