History
Prior to 2008, the Copa Colombia was played as a part of the league. It was an elimination tournament with home and away games. On February 14, 2008, the 36 members of the DIMAYOR decided to bring back the Copa Colombia. As a DIMAYOR decision, it would be contested by its members (the first and second division of Colombian football).[2] The first edition of the new Copa Colombia was held the same year and won by La Equidad.
The official sponsor of the tournament between 2008 and 2014 was Postobón.[3]
