2024 Copa Colombia


The 2024 Copa Colombia, officially the Copa BetPlay Dimayor 2024 for sponsorship reasons, was the 22nd edition of the Copa Colombia, the national cup competition for clubs affiliated to DIMAYOR, the governing body of professional club football in Colombia. The tournament, which was contested by 36 teams, began on 5 March and ended on 15 December 2024.
The defending champions Atlético Nacional won their seventh Copa Colombia title, defeating América de Cali in the finals. By winning the competition, Atlético Nacional were entitled to qualify for the 2025 Copa Sudamericana, however, since they won the 2024 Finalización tournament a few days later, their berth was redistributed through the league's aggregate table.

Format

The competition kept the format used in the previous edition. In its first stage, the eight lowest placed teams in the aggregate table of the 2023 Primera A played against the eight lowest placed teams in the aggregate table of the 2023 Primera B, being drawn in eight ties. The eight first stage winners then faced the remaining Primera B teams in the second round of the competition, with the eight winners advancing to the third stage where they were drawn against each other. The round of 16 was played with the four winners from the previous stage and the remaining 12 Primera A teams which entered the competition at that point. The winners then advanced to the subsequent knockout stages of the competition. The order of legs was drawn for each phase of the competition.
