The competition, which is usually played in January prior to the start of each Categoría Primera A season, was delayed to October 2021 due to the schedule saturation of both involved sides and a lack of available dates in early 2021.[2]

Santa Fe beat América de Cali by a 5–3 aggregate score to win its fourth Superliga Colombiana title.[3]

Teams

edit

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Colombia causing the curtailing of the 2020 Categoría Primera A season which only had one champion instead of the usual two, DIMAYOR confirmed that the competition would also be contested by the best ranked team in the aggregate table of the 2020 season, Santa Fe, in addition to the league champions América de Cali.[4]

Notes

  1. ^ The kickoff for the second leg was originally scheduled at 20:00, but was delayed by 20 minutes for TV broadcast reasons since the earlier 2021 Copa Colombia semi-final 2nd leg match between Deportivo Pereira and Deportes Tolima was delayed by rain.
