Primera B Colombia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Primera B Colombia is the second division football league in Colombia. The league is divided into two 6 month seasons and into two regional divisions of 9 teams where each team plays the region's other 8 teams both home and away. The top two teams in each conference advance to a playoff to decide the two teams who will advance to the final. The winner of the final secures a spot to play for promotion at the end of the year. After the first season is over, the second season begins with the same teams and format. The season's winner plays the first season's winner in a two-legged final to decide the team who will be promoted to the Colombian First Division or Primera A. At the end of the year, the team with worst final standing in Primera A will be demoted to Primera B.
