1912 in Argentine football saw the division of Argentine football into two rival associations. Quilmes won the official AAF tournament, while Porteño won the rival FAF tournament.

Primera División

Asociación Argentina de Football - Copa Campeonato

Many players of dissolved team Alumni went to play for Quilmes, which would be the champion. The tournament had no relegations.[1]

Federación Argentina de Football

The AAF league is officially recognised by the Argentine Football Association and FIFA. In July 1912, Gimnasia y Esgrima de Buenos Aires disaffiliated from Asociación Argentina de Football, founding the Federación Argentina de Football (FAF) presided by Ricardo Aldao. Recently promoted teams Porteño and Estudiantes (LP) joined the new league, among other teams.

1912 was the inaugural season of the dissident FAF league. This tournament was formed by 3 dissident teams from the Asociación Argentina (AAF): Estudiantes de La Plata, Gimnasia y Esgrima (BA) and Porteño, plus the 4 teams promoted from the second division: Argentino de Quilmes, Atlanta, Independiente and Kimberley (Villa Devoto). The last club added was the recently created Sociedad Sportiva Argentina.[2]

Championship playoff

Independiente and Porteño finished level on points at the top of the table, necessitating a championship playoff. The game was suspended at 87' after the Independiente players abandoned the pitch in protest at a disallowed goal by referee Carlos Aertz. The championship was then awarded to Porteño.[4]
