2016 Copa Colombia

The Copa Colombia (Colombia Cup, officially known as Copa Águila[1] due to sponsorship by brewery company Bavaria (manufacturer of Águila beer)) is a football tournament in Colombia. It is contested by the 36 professional clubs of DIMAYOR. The Copa Colombia was played for the first time in 1950, and it has been played consecutively since its revival in 2008. The most successful clubs are Santa Fe, Millonarios, Boca Juniors and Atlético Nacional, with two titles.

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] In 2015 the competition was renamed to Copa Águila with a new sponsor, Bavaria, the company that produces Águila beer.
