The Copa Colombia (English: Colombia Cup); officially known as Copa BetPlay Dimayor is an annual football tournament in Colombia. It is contested by the 36 professional clubs affiliated to the División Mayor del Fútbol Profesional Colombiano (DIMAYOR) and is the nation's domestic cup competition, equivalent to the FA Cup in England or the Copa del Rey in Spain.
The Copa Colombia was played for the first time in 1950, and it has been played consecutively since its revival in 2008. Throughout history, different championships have been known under the Copa Colombia name:
- A double-elimination, knockout tournament parallel to the Colombian league, which was played from 1950–51 to 1952–53.
- A tournament that was played under a round-robin group format in which teams advanced to a final group, which was also named as Copa Presidente de la República, played from late 1956 to early 1957.[1]
- The name of a commemorative trophy awarded in 1963, which is not considered a Copa Colombia title.[2]
- A tournament played in 1981 and 1989, which was part of the league season and awarded bonus points or berths to the final stages of the league tournament.[2]
- The knockout tournament played by teams in Categoría Primera A and Categoría Primera B, established since 2008.[3]
Atlético Nacional are the current holders, who won their sixth Copa Colombia title against Millonarios, winning the final series on penalties after a 2–2 draw on aggregate. Atlético Nacional are also the most successful club in the competition.
