On the afternoon of September 18, 2023, César Augusto Londoño, one of the journalists closest to the Dimayor leadership, assured that said organization would consider the possibility of making a radical change to the format of the first division of Colombian soccer. According to him, in 2024 the BetPlay League could have only one champion and, in addition, two home runs.

“For 2024, Dimayor will propose a one-year championship with two final home runs and a single champion, not two as it is currently played,” César Augusto Londoño

Julián Capera, during an ESPN program, delivered a version similar to that of César Augusto Londoño. Capera’s version differs in that, according to him, there would only be a home run phase. Capera also assured that this possibility would meet the demands of Acolfutpro, the soccer players’ union, which points to the excess of games and lack of rest that soccer players have as a consequence of the current format.

“The proposal is that there be only one champion, that a long tournament be played, from February to November, then home runs, only one, and at the end of the year there would be only one champion,” Julián Capera

To conclude, Julián Capera assured that, for now, this possibility of changing the format does not have the approval of the majority of the members of Dimayor. However, Fernando Jaramillo himself, president of the organization, was the one who made the proposal, so it should not be ruled out until the day of its approval by vote arrives.
