Atlético Quindío, the defending champion, was 3rd in the first stage with 24 points, and was then eliminated in the second stage.[1]

Background

12 teams competed in the tournament. Libertad de Barranquilla was the only team from the previous season who did not participate.[2][3]

League system

Teams received two points for a win and one point for a draw. On the first stage, every team played two games against each other team, one at home and one away, and the first 8 teams qualified for the octagonal stage. From this stage, the team with most points would be the champion of the season, however the stage was cancelled after 8 matches due to claims from the teams eliminated in the first stage. Then, a second stage was played, with two groups of six teams each. The champion of each group played a playoff, and the champion of it played a champion playoff against the champion of the first stage.
