Organisation of Football in Colombia

The organisation of football in Colombia is based on a hierarchical league system, allowing clubs to ascend or descend in level based on their performance. This system is divided into several tiers, ranging from professional football to amateur football.

At the top of the hierarchy is the Categoría Primera A, also known as Liga BetPlay DIMAYOR. This is the highest level of Colombian football and it comprises 20 professional clubs vying for the title of Colombian champion. The bottom two teams in the standings at the end of the season are relegated to the Categoría Primera B, which also includes 16 clubs. The top two from this division are promoted to Categoría Primera A, while the bottom two descend into the Copa Colombia.

The Copa Colombia, the third tier, is a knockout competition that includes teams from the Categoría Primera A and Categoría Primera B. The winner of the Copa Colombia qualifies for the Copa Libertadores, the most prestigious club competition in South America.

Below these three tiers, there are a series of regional and departmental leagues that constitute the lower levels of Colombian football. These leagues provide amateur clubs with the opportunity to progress through the league system and potentially reach the professional levels of Colombian football.
