Facts

  • The youngest player ever to become top scorer in the Argentine Primera was Diego Maradona in the 1978 Metropolitano tournament at the age of 17.
  • Héctor Horacio Scotta scored the most goals in a single calendar year, with 60 in 1975.
  • Arsenio Erico is the only player to score more than 40 goals in a single tournament, he managed the feat twice in 1937, with 47 goals and in 1938 with 43 goals.
  • José Sanfilippo and Diego Maradona are the only players to have been top scorer on four consecutive occasions.

  • Carlos Bianchi holds the record for the longest period in the top scorers list, his first came in the 1970 Nacional and his last came in 1981 Nacional, a gap of 11 years.
  • Bianchi also holds the record for the longest gap between titles, he waited nearly ten years between his 1971 Metropolitano and his 1981 Nacional titles.

  2. The Federación Amateurs de Football (FAF) was a rival association that organized its own championships from 1912 to 1914.
  3. The Asociación Amateurs de Football (AAm) was a rival association that organized its own championships from 1919 to 1926.
  4. The Liga Argentina de Football (LAF) was a dissident league that organised the first professional championships from 1931 to 1934. In 1935 it merged with the official AFA league (that remained amateur). As a result, all the AFA teams were relegated to the second division.
