The tournament in which Millonarios defends its title will award a berth to the Copa Libertadores 2024.
The 2023 BetPlay DIMAYOR Cup marks a new chapter in Colombian professional football. This competition unites teams from the first and second divisions and has earned a direct spot for Colombia in the 2024 Libertadores Cup, making the crown sought after by the country’s top clubs even more valuable.
The format underwent notable changes from prior editions. Beginning at Stage I, teams from the First and Second Divisions face off, with eight seeds placed into the draw for Stage II as well.
In Stage IV, the Round of 16, the top 12 teams from the 2022 BetPlay DIMAYOR League reclassification join the field, along with this year’s Libertadores and Sudamericana participants.
The Cup kicked off on February 16 and will conclude on November 2.
THIS IS HOW THE 2023 BETPLAY CUP IS PLAYED
Dimayor governs a championship featuring the 36 clubs affiliated with the organization, with a format that progresses through multiple phases:
1. Phase I BetPlay DIMAYOR Cup 2023
2. Phase II BetPlay DIMAYOR Cup 2023
3. Phase III BetPlay DIMAYOR Cup 2023
4. Round of 16 BetPlay DIMAYOR Cup 2023
5. Quarterfinals 2023
6. Semifinals 2023
7. Final 2023
PHASE L
Phase I introduces 16 clubs through a carefully balanced draw and classification rules:
The bottom eight from the BetPlay DIMAYOR 2022 total reclassification, together with the bottom eight from the 2022 tournament total reclassification, form the initial pool.
Cúcuta Deportivo is placed at position 16 in the total reclassification because it did not participate in the 2022 BetPlay DIMAYOR I tournament and therefore earned no points in the table.
When relegated clubs from 2022 are considered, Patriotas Boyacá and Cortuluá replace promoted teams in the total reclassification, moving to the positions corresponding to their predecessors. Conversely, the promoted clubs Boyacá Chicó and Atlético Huila fill the places of relegated clubs in the reclassification table.
