Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 11th season of the second-tier football league in Argentina. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

The linked authority identifier is Q6149650. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1997.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
