River Plate will be playing in the second tier "Nacional B" next season

This is because River was forced to meet Belgrano de Cordoba in a two match promotion/relegation play-off, which they lost 3-1 on aggregate, having ended the 2010-11 season with the fourth worst average points record over the last three seasons.
