Unión Magdalena and Llaneros FC are the options to ascend to the highest category of Colombian football; However, the final between both teams was overshadowed by the claim of Real Cartagena, which claims to have the right to play the playoffs with the team that loses the grand final.
How was the vote?
Not all 36 teams were present in the vote, but there was the necessary quorum to hold the assembly and then the vote; The majority stated that this space was not appropriate to modify the regulations and was solely the responsibility of Dimayor.
Yes: 10
No: 20
Will there be a playoff for Real Cartagena?
Likewise, Real Cartagena will have to cross their fingers for a series of results in the Grand Final of the B in Llaneros vs. Unión Magdalena and thus qualify for the second division playoffs to have the hope of being promoted to the first division.
The first option is if Llaneros is champion, regardless of the results, there will be a playoff.
The second is if Unión Magdalena is champion and finishes first in reclassification from B (by adding four or six points), there will be a playoff.
In that order of ideas, Real Cartagena will play a playoff against the runner-up of the grand final of the BetPlay Dimayor Tournament, as long as it is not the first in the reclassification table, since otherwise Unión Magdalena and Llaneros will be the new tenants of the TO.
The same media pointed out that three teams did not attend the assembly that was held virtually, which also influenced the interests of Real Cartagena, which in the absence of official confirmation from Dimayor, will have to wait for the title definition.
Another version has the journalist Cesar Augusto Londoño in his X account. According to the communicator, the Heroico team would not have the right to play the playoffs, therefore, the finalist teams would be the new tenants of the first division.
“The extraordinary Dimayor Assembly decided by a 20-10 vote that Real Cartagena does not have the right to the playoffs and left it in the hands of the Dimayor administration to resolve the issue. That is, it will remain in its position, Unión Magdalena and Llaneros will be promoted to A”, Londono published.
