Copa Ibarguren
The Copa Dr. Carlos Ibarguren, also called Campeonato Argentino[1] or simply Copa Ibarguren was an official Argentine football cup competition contested between 1913 and 1958. Between 1913 and 1925, the winner of the cup received the honor to be the "Argentine Champion". That is because the cup faced the two strongest champions of the country: Buenos Aires League vs. Rosario League.
