At the moment, there are five teams fighting to stay in the First Division, two of which have just been promoted from the Second Division, and one of which has had the same problem for four seasons in a row, but hopes to eventually escape.
Boyaca Chico and the club until recently known as La Equidade due to a name change in 2026 start with the lowest records, while Deportivo Cali face a murky outlook. In addition, the financial situation of Deportivo Pereira has added to the uncertainty surrounding the future of the competition.
The system for determining Colombia’s descent is based on the following averages: Points earned by each club in the round-robin stage over the past three seasons divided by the number of games played in that period.. This method is currently scheduled to remain in place until 2026, meaning newly promoted teams (one of which is the Jaguars) will start counting from zero, taking into account only points and games played since arriving in the first division.
For the next campaign, the average table will incorporate results from 2024, 2025, and the following season. In this context, Potential teams Boyaca Chico and Internacional de Bogotá will start with the lowest averages of 0.88 and 1.01, respectively..
Meanwhile, the Azcarellos have been stuck in this relegation problem since 2023. We started passing the bottom of the average standings, but only in the last few days have we saved this category, either because of a bad campaign or because there were teams in a worse situation.
Coach Alberto Gamero admitted it was a difficult moment after the 1-1 draw with Once Caldas, saying: “A negative balance, very, very negative. We tried to put together a team that was suddenly in the top eight, so we know that, but the overall balance is negative, very negative. We apologized for not living up to expectations.”
The helmsman also emphasized the support of the fans and expressed confidence that with the arrival of new investors and improving economic conditions, the team will be able to strengthen itself to compete at the top.Investors have also arrived who want to build a good team, and this team must be put together to compete. In fact, we’re completely convinced of it. ”
Meanwhile, Deportivo Pereira’s continued presence in the Betplay League remains on hold as the Ministry of Labor has taken precautionary measures to suspend the club’s activities due to non-payment of salaries and social security. Furthermore, the Colombian Association of Professional Football Players (Acolfutpro) has requested the intervention of the Corporate Supervision Authority as the club is subject to liquidation, which it says has already begun.
If the situation persists, Matecaña will lose his visibility in the sports world and his partnership with Dimayor will be severed.as happened in Cucuta in 2020, companies will have to decide whether the league will be played with 19 teams as in the first half of 2021, whether Envigado, second to last on average, will remain in first place, or whether additional teams will be promoted from B.
