AFA's Consejo Directivo approves the suggestion from its president to organize a national youth fútbol tournament (approved on May 2, 1945). The trophy is named after military leader and current President General de la Brigada D. Edelmiro J. Farrell.
The Eva Perón tournaments were not the first for children. 418 teams participated in 69 matches in July of 1945. More than 6,000 children participated between ages 12 and 14.
A quick look at the minimum ticket prices fixed for the first matches of 1966 in the "primera" and "B" divisions. Notice that some matches are 10 to 40 pesos more expensive.
