The confusion with Atlético Nacional arose as a result of its BetPlay 2023 Cup title, which classifies it to phase 2 of the most important club tournament in South America. However, this award could be improved if two situations occur:

1. If you are champion of the BetPlay Dimayor II-2023 League.
2. If it ends 2023 as the best team in Colombian soccer, according to the reclassification table, without being League champion.

In dialogue with Infobae Colombia, Fernando Jaramillo, president of Dimayor, explained what would happen in an eventual two-time Millonarios championship and denied the possibility that some of the clubs claim a qualification for the Copa Libertadores from the desktop:

“The regulations are clear regarding quotas. When the champion of League 1 is the same as that of League 2, Colombia 2’s quota is determined by the Requalification. Nacional already has a guaranteed place for being champion of the BetPlay Dimayor Cupwhich means that it has the Colombia 4, of minor importance. However, if Millonarios turns out to be the same champion, the regulations clearly state that it will be defined by Requalification. If it is National, this will become Colombia 2″.

Fernando Jaramillo He also made reference to one of the articles that would serve to put an end to the controversy and that would leave without foundation the claim of classification to the Copa Libertadores 2024 by the clubs from the desk: “In any case, there is another article in the regulations that establishes that the president of the Dimayor can assign quotas if any of the circumstances are not contemplated in the regulationthrough reclassification.”
