Nacional and Bella Vista qualify for Copa Libertadores, Danubio
and Penarol for Copa Conmebol 1993.
NOTE: The intervention of a Catholic priest, Ernesto POPELKA, a former player
with Danubio and Nacional, helped to end a month-long players' strike.
The Uruguay FA had suspended two Second Division clubs for a month after
their fans had caused trouble (one man dead and several injured) - a
decision which hurt the players, who had nothing to do with it. Their
players remained unpaid and the union called a strike, which stopped the
championship and caused Nacional's elimination from the South American
Super Cup for Copa Libertadores winners.
Topscorer:
1. Julio Dely Valdez (Nacional/PAN) 13 goals
2. Antonio Vidal Gonzalez (Nacional/ARG) 8 goals
NB: Nacional won their 24th title, their first since 1983.
