More examples in Colombian football
These types of situations seem to be common in Colombian football. For example, the traditional Petroleum Alliance also disappeared and the restructuring led to a change of name and headquarters. It is now known as Alianza Valledupar and is home to the Armando Maestre Pavajeau stadium, when for many seasons its home was the Daniel Villa Zapata in Barrancabermeja.
Another example is Cortuluá, traditional team from Valle del Cauca that spent several years in the first division. Today, the Doce de Octubre stadium in Tuluá is in ruins and the restructuring led it to become Inter de Palmira, today in the B Tournament.
As if that were not enough, The case of Real Cundinamarca joins the list. Today, this second division team is home to the Olaya Herrera stadium in Bogotá and before the reorganization, it was known as Valledupar FC and was home to where Alianza Valledupar plays today. In 2024, the directors decided to liquidate and move to the capital of Colombia.
