The Región IX Metropolitana, was a final group of the best representatives of the teams from the capital, for their classification to the regional or national stage of the Copa Perú. It was the final phase after the Liga Mayor de Fútbol de Lima. The number of teams varied by season, between 6 and 8 teams.
With the implementation of the Intermedia, promotion was offered to Intermedia B and the National Stage to the Copa Perú between 1984 and 1988.[citation needed]
Finally, in 1992, the Región IX Metropolitana was eliminated and replaced by the Región Promocional de Lima y Callao and years later, by the Interligas de Lima championship.[6]
