Confirmed time and date of the final games

This Thursday Unión Magdalena begins its path to the title of the Promotion Tournament in Colombia 2024 II when it faces Llaneros FC in the first of two games.

The first match, those led by Jorge Luis Pinto, will be at home at the ‘Sierra Nevada’ stadium starting at 7:00 PM, while the return match will be on Wednesday, December 3 in Villavicencio, at 8:00 PM.

Both teams will seek to win the championship and secure their place in the annual grand final, where the first promotion to the highest category of Colombian soccer will be defined. It should be noted that currently, Llaneros, champion of the first semester, leads the way with a direct option being first in reclassification.

Now, if the Villavo team loses the final of the second semester against Unión Magdalena, both teams would meet again in the annual ‘grand final’. In this instance, the champion would be promoted directly, while the loser would have to play a playoff against the best team in the reclassification.

However, there is one key exception. If the loser of the ‘grand final’ also happens to be the leader of the reclassification, they would be automatically promoted, eliminating the need for a playoff.

The support of the Samaria fans is expected to make the ‘Sierra Nevada’ a ‘fortress’ to achieve the objective.

On the other hand, in a Win Sport interview with the deputy sports editor, Orlando Ascencio, he mentioned that Real Cartagena has a wrong interpretation of an article in the Dimayor regulations. The eleventh Bolivarian public on his social networks assuming that there is a playoff yes or yes, stating that there will be no annual final, Unión Magdalena replies.

Clarification is expected from DIMAYOR, which has thousands of soccer fans waiting, since there is confusion among the teams themselves about how promotions are defined.

For his part, the president of Unión Magdalena, Alberto Mario Garzón, went out on his social networks to refute Cartagena’s theory. “I don’t know what they are celebrating if they were eliminated from the final of this tournament. The result depends on the playoff between Llaneros and us.”
