The Primera Nacional, Argentina's primary promotion tournament featuring 36 teams, is set to commence with a focus on transmission rights now resolved, allowing attention to shift to the contenders and debuting teams.

The Primera Nacional, the main tier of promotion in Argentine football, is set to begin this Friday, marking the start of a 10-month season with 36 participating teams, including three newcomers. The focus has been on the tournament's transmission rights, which were clarified just before the start, allowing fans to shift their attention towards the competition itself. This set-up presents numerous powerful candidates vying for promotion to the Liga Profesional de FΓΊtbol.

Among the notable contenders is Godoy Cruz, which recently competed in the Copa Sudamericana and is returning to the Primera Nacional after a lengthy absence of 17 years following relegation. With strong performances in recent years, including a history of competing at higher levels and internationally, Godoy Cruz is expected to make a considerable impact in this season's competition. The tournament's format will challenge all teams involved, as they fight for two precious promotion spots to the top-tier league.

The excitement surrounding the Primera Nacional not only stems from the competition among established teams like Godoy Cruz but also from the new entrants aiming to make their mark. Given the lengthy nature of this tournament and the high stakes involved for promotion, it is poised to capture the attention of Argentine football fans for the upcoming months, showcasing both emerging talents and seasoned players in a bid for glory in Argentine football.
