Categoría Primera B


The Torneo DIMAYOR, referred to as Torneo BetPlay Dimayor due to sponsorship by online betting company BetPlay, is the second-division football league in Colombia. The tournament was inaugurated on 29 January 1991.

Format

has applied a new format from 2015 onwards because of the expansion to 20 teams in the Primera A tournament. The league will no longer have Apertura and Finalización seasons but rather a yearlong tournament with home and away games. The first phase of the tournament is everyone against everyone home and away games. The second is a two-groups phase with the 8 top teams from the season who play each other to determine the winners of each group. The winners of the two groups are both promoted to the Primera A and play the final in home and away games to determine the champion of the season.
