Promotion play-off The Promotion Play-off was contested between Coronel Bolognesi, who finished second-to-last in the 1980 Torneo Descentralizado, and Unión González Prada, runners-up of the 1980 Copa Perú. The Tacna-based side secured a convincing 5-0 aggregate victory, thereby retaining their place in the top division. Meanwhile, the Lima-based club missed out on what was arguably its best opportunity to earn promotion to the First Division.
