The ANFP board decided on December 30 to unanimously ratify the relegation of Unión Española and Deportes Iquique to Primera B for the 2026 season, dismissing their appeal based on an outdated regulatory article. The clubs argued for an interpretation that would allow them to stay in Primera División using averages, but the governing body stressed that the championship rules were approved by all, including themselves. The dispute may continue in Chilean courts.
