Later, it became a precursor championship of the Región IX Metropolitana. Initially it played the role of second category (tournament within the Copa Peru system) until 1984, the year that the second professional category returned.
In 1987, the foundations of Peruvian football were modified again. Liga Mayor de Fútbol de Lima disappeared. The teams that maintained their category and those teams from the capital that were relegated from the first professional league were absorbed and affiliated with the Región IX Metropolitana. However, according to most media outlets at the time, both leagues were merged.
